NATO Secretary General: “Let me salute President Trump’s longstanding leadership in calling for NATO to increase defense spending. NATO has already added an additional $1 trillion in defense spending over the past decade. Mr. President — dear Donald — that is thanks to you pushing us.”
“It will also be a massive achievement in making NATO fairer. For decades, the United States sought to get Europe to truly step up. Now, European allies and Canada will equalize their defense spending with the United States. So let me salute President Trump’s longstanding leadership in calling for NATO to increase defense spending.”
“Today, I am pleased to announce that NATO has already added an additional $1 trillion in defense spending over the past decade. Mr. President, dear Donald, that is thanks to you pushing us. And tomorrow we will build on that foundation and add trillions more in defense spending because we need to do this.”
