“In fact he seemed rather tough on NATO.”

Yeah, he wanted NATO members to pay what they had agreed to pay. Smart move on Trump’s part, and previous presidents should have done the same thing.

Trump was tough with NATO to strengthen it, and it worked, they increased spending by billions.

Trump brought back V Corps and moved it from Germany to Poland, Poland wanted to create a Fort Trump and is currently headed to more than double the recommended NATO spending.
