During President Trump's second term as president, he is going to do what no other American President has done over the past 75 years-make Europe start funding and carrying 80% of NATO's financial expenses instead of America. I look forward to those NATO meetings that President Trump attends.

Leave it to DW and the European press to spin 20 NATO countries now spending the bare minimum of 2% GDP as little to nothing to do with President Trump's actions. Pathetic, that a leader of any NATO country that has failed to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense is even considered for Secretary General. With a very real threat of Prime Minister Kallas or Foreign Minister Gabrieles Landsbergis. Both Prime Minister Kallas and Foreign Minister Landsbergis have the personal experience of working on consensus of NATO allies as well as the clear eyed understanding of the Russian threat. Leave it to the western European allies to marginalize eastern Europe, especially the Baltic States once again.

Great to hear a Dutch citizen who gets it. Germany, France and the other weak western Europeans only want a smooth talker. That's why President Trump's second term as President will be great for Europe actually taking responsibility for their own collective defense with America playing a supporting role.

Except after decades of decimating their defense forces and budgets there is not much "Dutch steel". Solid choice for western Europe to continue marginalizing eastern Europe.

You can always count on western Europe to always forget Russian atrocities.

That means he is perfect for cleaning up western Europe's, especially the Netherlands, mess after decades of gutting their defense forces, budgets and manufacturing capabilities. Once again, western Europe marginalizes eastern Europe especially the Baltics States.
