Trump: NATO no longer obsolete
00:13
US President Donald Trump said that NATO is no longer “obsolete,” reversing his previous stance. "I said it was obsolete. It's no longer obsolete," Trump said, adding that the Transatlantic alliance, which Poland joined in 199 was adapting to the broader mission against Islamic militants that he had urged.
Trump repeated his demand for other states to increase their military spending. “If other countries pay their fair share instead of relying on the United States to make up the difference we will all be much more secure,” said the US president. The US spent 3.3 percent of its GDP on defense in 2015, while Poland's spendings were at 2.2 percent of its GDP, which put it in the third place among all NATO members.
This year, the alliance will welcome its 29th member – Montenegro.
