NATO chief: Trump approach ‘having an impact’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says that despite President Donald Trump’s fire-and-brimstone approach to this week’s summit, the US leader has had an impact on the commitment by alliance members to boost their individual military spending.
Stoltenberg says that “the clear message from President Trump is having an impact.”
Since taking office, Trump has criticized most alliance members for not spending more on their militaries and pressing them to do more.
Stoltenberg says Trump’s approach is paying off. The NATO secretary-general says allies have added $41 billion extra for defense spending — a figure he cited yesterday.
