Donald Trump announced Friday that he would 'walk' from Japan and other US allies if they don't commit to defending America and pay their 'fair share' of NATO fees.

'You know we have a treaty with Japan, where if Japan is attacked, we have to use the full force and might of the United States,' Trump said to a crowd in Iowa.

'If we're attacked, Japan doesn't have to do anything. They can sit home and watch Sony television, OK?'

Walking away: Donald Trump announced Friday that he is prepared to 'walk' from US allies who don't pay their 'fare share' towards NATO or agree to defend America

The slam came during a speech in which Trump complained about countries under US protection, such as Japan and South Korea, and others that he said do not make large enough financial contributions to NATO.

The presidential hopeful said that the United States protects Japan, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia and other nations, but 'they don't pay anything near what it costs.'

'They have to pay. Because this isn't 40 years ago,' he added. 'It's got to be a two-way street.'
