NATO’s Rutte on Trump:
I just like the man.
I think what he is doing for NATO is great news because, yes, there is a Russian threat, there is Ukraine, so we had to step up in Europe anyway.
But he was what was necessary to bring this extra impetus to the debate, to really get all these nations from 2% and now to agree to the 5%.
As I said yesterday in the press conference, Canada and Europeans are now already at almost 4% when it comes to defense spending.
So, in one year, on this trajectory to 5% in 2035, we reach the 4% in 2026.
