I think Trump accomplished what he wanted here. Gets them on record about GDP.

Art Of The Deal should include getting it in writing.

The Art of the Deal is about cutting off the allowances of Macron the SoyBoy and Herr Merkel when they don't ask "how high" when President Trump says "jump".

The cheese-eating surrender macron is gonna find that out right quick, cabrón.

Macron isn’t even living up to his original 2% promise. Trudeau needs to quit running his trap about Trump with his teeny little .99%. I say the US doesn’t contribute a dime over the lowest country. And cut funding to the UN and zero goes to any who spit on us.

The 2016 figures http://www.businessinsider.com/nato-share-breakdown-country-2017-2 :

United States, 3.61%.

Greece, 2.38%.

Britain, 2.21%.

Estonia, 2.16%.

Poland, 2%.

France, 1.78%.

Turkey, 1.56%.

Norway, 1.54%.

Lithuania, 1.49%.

Romania, 1.48%.

Latvia, 1.45%.

Portugal, 1.38%.

Bulgaria, 1.35%.

Croatia, 1.23%.

Albania, 1.21%.

Germany, 1.19%.

Denmark, 1.17%.

Netherlands, 1.17%.

Slovakia, 1.16%.

Italy, 1.11%.

Czech Republic, 1.04%.

Hungary, 1.01%.

Canada, 0.99%.

Slovenia, 0.94%.

Spain, 0.91%.

Belgium, 0.85%.

Luxembourg, 0.44%.

Good. Then there’s no reason we should have to give anything until 2024.

I don’t think Trump said anyone agreed to more than two percent, only that the contribution would ultimately go higher than that. Macron is an ass, made to bear but who ultimately must be borne.

France is not IIRC a “formal” member of NATO, so Macron is talking out of his backside.

Resumed full membership in 2009.

And the head of the EU, with the unpronounceable name, also agreed with President Trump about the suggested increase.

This is hopefully the direction in which the President is heading.

Get a commitment from the Russians not to attack Europe and then let the next check from Uncle Sam to NATO bounce.

Trump can always claim the USA is broke...its not like there isn't a 20 TRILLION dollar debt t on the books already.

This Macron keeps vying for attention when it hasn’t been earned. Much like his Canadian muse, Justin.
