NATO Chief Praises Trump: 'His Very Clear Message Is Having an Impact'
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had good things to say about President Donald Trump, who has complained repeatedly about allies not paying their fair share for collective defense.
"So President Trump has been very clear. He is committed to NATO," Stoltenberg told "Fox News Sunday."
Stoltenberg said Trump, in addition to getting billions more dollars from NATO members, is helping the alliance adapt to a more unpredictable world, which includes a more aggressive Russia:
"What is see is that actually NATO is united because we are able to adapt to deliver. North America and Europe are doing more together now than before. We have more U.S. troops in Europe and more exercises. So we welcome that. But we also welcome the fact that European allies are stepping up. And this is a clear message to Russia and I think they see that."
