  • Trump being re-elected wouldn't mean the end of NATO, the alliance's chief said.
  • Jens Stoltenberg said it's "important not to create self-fulfilling prophecies."
  • Stoltenberg said leaders would need to engage with Trump like they did in 2016.

The head of NATO said former President Donald Trump being reelected wouldn't mean the end of the military alliance.
