YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump on Wednesday laid into Spain for expressing reservations about an increase in NATO defense spending, drawing his ire during his press conference at the alliance’s summit on Wednesday.

NATO allies earlier Wednesday approved a plan to increase their defense spending from 2 percent of gross domestic product to 5 percent by 2035. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has credited Trump for laying the groundwork for the increase.

But Spain has expressed reservations about increasing its share.

“I think Spain’s terrible what they’ve done. No, I do. They’re the only country that won’t pay the full — they want to stay at 2 percent,” Trump said in response to a Spanish reporters question.
