Donald Trump says he has devised a “beautiful” new name for NATO which would allow the military alliance to play a bigger part in the Middle East.

Speaking to reporters he said he had discussed the idea with the alliance’s chief, Jens Stoltenberg, and that he seemed “very excited” by the suggestion.

“I think he was actually excited about it. I actually had a name,” Trump said.

“NATO, right, and then you have ME, Middle East. They would call it NATOME.”

“I’m good at names, right.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
