Trump advised Europe to come to its senses on military spending

US President Donald Trump said it was time for Europe to increase military spending and "get smart" on this issue. He said this on January 8 in an interview with the New York Times.

According to Trump, it was thanks to his efforts that European countries began to spend more of their GDP on NATO.

"I think we will always get along with Europe, but I want them to come to their senses. I was the one who got them to start spending a large share of GDP on NATO. But if you look at NATO, I can tell you: Russia doesn't worry about other countries besides us at all," the American leader stressed.
