Donald Trump sends ruthless threat to NATO allies over lack of defence spending
US President Donald Trump has sent a brutal message to NATO allies only a day before a key summit in Ankara, Turkey. Trump threatened NATO allies that if they do not “immediately” step up defence spending, they will face the consequences. US Ambassador to NATO, Matt Whitaker, revealed that while some nations are “doing more than others”, the president expects all to “step up”. “Some allies are doing more than others. Poland, the Nordic countries, the Baltic countries lead the way,” Whitaker said. “But many others are lagging behind, and President Trump expects all allies to step up immediately and not only get on a sustainable path to the 5 per cent but to get to 5 per cent as soon as possible.”
