In response to a question about national security, Kaine pivoted to criticize Trump's comments on NATO.

"That's not his plan," Pence said, laughing.
In a July interview with the New York Times, Trump did say that he thought NATO was "obsolete" and hesitated to commit to a defense of Baltic states in the case of Russian aggression, saying that it would depend on whether or not NATO allies had "fulfilled their obligations" to the United States.
Later the same day, he clarified his comments. "I want them to pay," Trump said, adding that if NATO allies refuse then "we have to walk."
