President Donald Trump In the Netherlands, The Hague is to accept the main stage on the second day of the NATO summit, which offers a surprisingly sincere tone to the unity he criticized for a long time.
Before holding a press conference, the President is scheduled to meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and other world leaders.
Trump said, “Probably” Probably “President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who participated in the summit within the ongoing prominence, said he would greet” Probably ” Join NATO.
Rutte in the text messages shared by Trump congratulated him for the target of new 5% defense costs and congratulated the confrontation between Israel and Iran for a final clash.

“Congratulations on your decisive activity on Iran and thank you. It was really extraordinary and no one else could do,” Rutte wrote as Trump flies towards the summit. “It makes us safer.”
Israel and Iran fell apart on Tuesday, although Israel called on the counter-attack on the call of Trump.
“If you have another great success in the Hague tonight,” Rutte said Rutte referred a new agreement to NATO members to increase GDP to 5%.
NATO allies first agreed to spend 2% of GDP in 2006 – many of us could not meet for years. Now Trump’s repetition of Trump to Europe “Weight,” the Alliance has confirmed Ambitious 5% targetWith the exception of Spain who has been fighting for a long time to meet the original criterion for a long time.
The new figure is about 1.5% to the related infrastructure, including 3.5%, cyberscar and intelligence for basic defense costs. NATO ambassadors agreed on the concession text on Sunday.

For most of the allies, the target marks a significant leap. Poland is currently 14% of GDP to all member states. The United States is 3.4%.
Trump said that the United States does not believe that the full 5% limit should be reached – a position supported by Rutte.
“The United States is already spending almost 3.5% of the main defense, and undoubtedly, they are close to spending 1.5% of the protection items,” said Rutte. “Countries like Estonia and Poland are very close. For many, it will still be a long way, but it really is important.”

He also called in the defense industry to produce “on both sides of Atlantic.”
“It should be able to remove Russia’s 25 times smaller than Russia, which is 25 times smaller than NATO,” Rutte Tuesday. He called on Europe: “Make your defense so strong that no one dared to attack you.”
Despite the progress, Trump, the United States is a fresh doubt that the foundation of NATO is obedient to the mutual defense paragraph – the 5th Article 5 members force members to defend each other in case of an attack.
“It depends on your definition,” Trump said when asked if he would honor his commitment. “There are numerous definitions of Article 5, do you know that? But I am eager to be friends. I have been friends with most of those leaders and to help them.”
