The Hague: US President Donald Trump entered the NATO Hague summit on Tuesday, with the allies hope that the pledge to increase defense spending will be determined to protect the unexpected leader of the military superpower.
Trump joined the leaders of 31 other NATO members to launch a two -day gathering with Dutch Shah William Alexander at Zenith Orange Hall at his royal residence.
The coalition hopes that the GDP’s five percent headline on defense spending will hold Trump to his mutual defense commitment.
But Trump declined to say that he was committed to protecting NATO’s Article Five clause and Europe, in the comments that are likely to roam his counterparts in the continent.
Your € € depends on your definition. Trump told reporters in Air Force One that Article Five has several definitions. I am determined to become their friends. €
Nate to keep Trump on the board, NATO members have terminated a compromise agreement to dedicate 1.5 % for basic military requirements by 2035 and 1.5 % to 1.5 % from wider security such as cyberself and infrastructure.
NATO says military construction is very important to stop Russia, which officials have warned that it is rapidly rebuilding its forces due to war in Ukraine and may be ready to attack the alliance in five years.
But it is so important to keep Trump engaging, so that Washington has warned that he can transfer the forces from Europe to face the threat from China.
“They are raising it up to five percent, which is good,” Trump said. â € € This gives them a lot of power. â €
Although the promise of more expenses can win Trump, the deep division remains about European security issues: Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Trump said he would probably meet Ukrainian President Woldmeer Zelannsky while in the second, hoping to avoid the couple’s notorious Oval Office, with Kiev.
â € Graddradal uncertainty â
The European Commission’s Chief Arsola Van Dare Leene told an audience in the Hague that the pledge of NATO’s Historic â € € has shown that the Europe of Defense has finally awakened.

In addition, the Power House Germany announced plans to target 3.5 % data for basic defense requirements six years before the schedule 2029 â € € € € €.
At the other end of the scale, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has jeopardized Trump’s air, which does not have to meet his country’s five percent target.
For this part, the Kremlin, with his spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, attacked NATO for a lot of militancy, saying: “This is the fact that is around us.
Trump Zilnski Meeting
Since returning to power, Trump has turned his back on Kiev and opened the door for a close relationship with Moscow, and has forwarded the Western point of view about the three -year conflict.
Zelinsky was ready to reduce the lead role in the recent NATO gatherings and will not attend the main working session.
But the Ukrainian president said he would discuss the purchase of weapons with Trump, primarily.
Kiev said Zilinsky would also pressure Trump to impose new sanctions on Russia, as Moscow with the help of Washington has stopped peace efforts.
“There is no sign that Putin wants to stop the war. Russia rejected all peace proposals, including people from the United States. Putin only thinks of war,” the Ukrainian leader told a defense forum with the summit.
Trump briefly met with Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the summit on Tuesday, who called on the closed dialogue to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
