President Trump told his Wichita, Kansas, rally on Monday, October 19, 2026, that the United States stands with Europe despite its flaws — but warned that if European allies do not soon find their way, “we will have no choice but to leave.” Wire reports led their rally coverage with the line on Monday night.
The warning came during a passage attacking the allies over the unrest in France and for refusing American requests for help on Iran, themes Trump returned to throughout the speech at the Heartland Credit Union Arena. “I could see it coming 10 years ago,” he said of Europe’s trajectory.
