Trump has berated European leaders for failing to contribute more financially to the costs of collective defence at past meetings.

UK PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson has issued an appeal for Nato unity amid increasing strains within the Western alliance over the conflict in Syria.

The invasion took place after US President Donald Trump effectively gave the Turkish president the green light – to the dismay of other Western capitals as well as many in Washington. In the 3 decades before my election, NATO spending declined by two-thirds, and only 3 other NATO members were meeting their financial obligations. Since I took office, the number of NATO allies fulfilling their obligations more than DOUBLED, and NATO spending increased by $130B!Meanwhile, Downing Street will be hoping the US president does not decide to intervene in the general election campaign in such a way as to rebound against Johnson.

Johnson is expected to try to play peacemaker when he hosts the two leaders, together with Merkel, for talks in Downing Street today ahead of the main gathering.

Whoops

so much defence spending but if it was ever really needed then there would be nothing left. All paranoia apart from the fake wars they start to keep their side business profitable

No doubt he'll unleash more anti-European insults at us

He's right too. They what US marines to do their work.

Great leader , tuned the economy around after that war dog clown Obama wrecked the US economy. We need more leaders like trump,

Does NATO not work on a formula and any spend is on their own defences ?
