Short and sweet, in general, it is not a statement related to the summit of NATO leaders, but no doubt, many member people hope that the people of the US President Donald Trump is returning to the table.
The collection of allied leaders Prime Minister Mark Carney and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who hosted NATO’s homeland, will be the host Mark Rutte.
What is expected to be wide first, perhaps a narrowed, bold agenda for a single grip, reduced: Show me the money.
Member nations will argue by increasing the growing criteria for the current two percent of the gross domestic product, combined five percent (additional 1.5 percent of the military for defense infrastructure).

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a strategic defense and security partnership with the EU in Brussels on Monday.
The Allies agreed to a solid-oriented agenda to minimize the potential of Trumman’s wrath. On Tuesday, the Netherlands will have a dinner with the royal family, and then the leaders will be a meeting of the northern Atlantic Council before the leaders flew home.
Canada comes to the freshout summit of Carney Pledge to increase defense costs $ 9.3 billion this year To meet the two percentage target available.
It is quite another issue to go five percent. Carney said it was not about to choose a number and spent on it.
Before the summit, it was reported that NATO countries agreed to hit the target of the target over the next ten years. The United States is unlikely to delight countries like Spain known to the US goal.
Even the Conservative Prime Minister of Belgium Bart de Wever, in questioning about it, was doubtful when asked on Monday.
“I’m not comfortable with five percent. Giant,” De Wever told Canadian journalists in Antwerp after the commemoration of World War II.
“3.5 and 1.5 are a little helping … However, 3.5 we must have tried three times in the same situation in the same situation in Canada.”
Veteran Canadian Diplomat Senator Peter Boehm, escaping a new target, said it would be difficult in the current geopolitical climate.
“One option may not be much,” Boehm said the CBC news in the last match.
Former US Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker said no one had to be in the target of Washington and wanted to hear trump words.
“Everyone, who is looking for the United States, ‘Yes, we mean it,’ he said.” We have a plan. Five percent are real. We’ll get there. We have a real danger in Europe. We have to do more. “
The combined five percent would be able to reach the target in Canada every year to spend up to $ 50 billion every year about the military and defense infrastructure.
“I am sure that Canada and the whole union can do it,” said Rutte CBC’s Power and Politics Alta during the G7 summit in Kananaskis last week.
He said that in the world of clashes growing up in the world, he said.

“With two percent, we cannot defend ourselves and defend ourselves,” said Rutte Host David Cochrane. He said it could be enough in 2025, but not within three or five years.
“We have increased defense costs.”
Boehm says 5 percent of Canada believes that 5 percent can be accessed for Canada depending on the “schedule and procurement effectiveness”.
The country’s moribund defense procurement is almost forever, “Boehm” will require creativity to achieve this interest goals, because the country’s Achilles heirs.
In the change in previous years, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was invited not only to meet the allies, but to participate in the leaders.
Rutte insisted that Ukraine would remain a vital topic on Monday.
“You will see an important language connecting Ukraine, including defense costs to Ukraine and Ukraine,” Rutte said in Brussels told reporters in Brussels.
Zelenskyy, however, I did not clearly confirm that he will attend the dinner.
