Do you reimburse US costs? Trump scared the NATO countries

22
American President Donald Trump on the eve of the NATO summit, which is scheduled to take place during the period of July 11-12 in Brussels, hinted that the United States may demand compensation for the late payments of European countries. This record was made by the President of the United States on his Twitter page.


Do you reimburse US costs? Trump scared the NATO countries


In his notes, the American leader writes that many NATO member countries have repeatedly delayed payments to the budget of the North Atlantic Alliance, in connection with which today the question arises of compensation for the funds of the United States that they invested in the development and armament of the alliance. Trump said that many of the countries that the United States pledged to defend within the alliance not only failed to fulfill their defense spending obligations at two percent of their state’s GDP, but also did not make payments to the NATO budget at all, having repeatedly delayed their payments. .

Judging by the statements of Donald Trump, Washington considers the issue of cash injections into the NATO budget a priority, and this issue will be the main issue at the upcoming alliance summit.

Recall that earlier, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on NATO countries to increase revenues to the defense budgets of countries, while not forcing the achievement of a two percent deduction for the military needs of their country.

    The news wrote that the EU will spend 2024 billion euros on defense by 260.
    So, partially compensate. wassat
    Although, how they squealed, how squealed.
    We will create our own army and more.
    And the money will go to NATO.
    Here you have the EU army.

      Do not tell my slippers. Even the Psheks ask for a base and offer two billion pidos. The grandmother also bowed her voice announced the release date of 2%.

        What does even mean? Is Poland some kind of key player to add the “Even” particle to them? Poland and the Baltic countries have only one product that is in demand in the West - Russophobia. Accordingly, I would not be surprised even if Poland had asked to be in the United States as another state.

    That's right, Donya, so them! Suddenly they want to feel independent, European punks ... Just in case, Putin explained to them where to turn for help when it becomes very tight. Russia will help all future Soviet republics

    The commander ordered the subordinates refuse to obey the order. Shooting may follow. It would be desirable of course. Yes

    This man is just voicing the obvious, he will raise the rating a little from the electorate. It's all right, Karl.

    So interesting it turns out, Trump not only bent over Europe, but also wants to receive money from an ally on a silver platter! Oh how! The usual humiliation is not enough, and European leaders behave quite like Poroshenko. Daaaaaa, leaders degenerated in Europe!

    Well done Trump! He showed Europeans their real place in the value system! Clearly defined the type of "protection of Europe" on the principle of a private security company - need protection = pay for security !!!! Only business - nothing personal, no freebies! ... And in general, the salvation of drowning people = the work of the drowning people themselves! ... Wet diapers from the rulers of Europe from one kind of Uncle Vova Putin? Pay for changing diapers, gentlemen ... There is another option that is unacceptable for modern political midgets of Europe - to rethink from the point of view of common sense the degree of “threat” from Putin and Russia. ... Maybe the whole threat is just a mirage? Windmill? Then it’s not worth spending money on protection from the Russian “threat”!

    That's right, Trump does it for pleasure / safety, it is not clear from whom / you have to pay !!! But in general, the combined army has not yet won a single war.

    Perhaps, but on the other hand, the ambitions of the other NATO members are incomparable with the United States. If you called yourself a leader, a guarantor, then you bear the main burden. How to use the resources of devastated countries (Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan ..) so ahead of everyone, and let's keep NATO together.
