President Trump is making ridiculous demands of our NATO partners in comparison to the tax cuts the USA Republican Congress passed that was based in greed and not need. It’s outrageous that he is laying the USA debt at the feet of NATO in demanding doubling Europe partner spending, Trump needs to get his priorities straight.
2024 is the agreed upon date for the 2 percent goal. I think the military has to. Illustrate exactly what NATO is suppose to look like as far as troops and jets, tanks, etc. by 2024 should. If the 2024 picture is insufficient to NATO’s purpose then the 2024 demands needs to be amended to 3 percent.
I think NATO is an impressive alliance for it’s longevity, purpose and strength. This meeting is a reminder of who the USA is to very important people of Europe. Europe is a trading partner as well. Europe is important to the people of the USA.
If President Trump is disgruntled that more of the wealth of Europe isn’t in his pocket; too bad. He should’ve been more appropriate in the change in the tax code. When Trump states NATO needs to increase it’s spending to 4 % immediately, he needs to back it up with facts.
It is an annoyance that Russian oil and gas are coming to Europe and it has had it’s problems. Trump would like to get more of Europe’s Euros into the USA GDP through sales of USA LNG. Europe has never been dependent on USA liquid natural gas. They don’t know if a US product is any more trouble free than Russia’s gas. I would think Europe would transition over time for such changes. But, Europe is also transitioning to solar and wind, so the need for natural gas is decreasing every year. It may be Europe is looking to end any need for natural gas at all.
President Trump in making such insulting statements shows how much he doesn’t know rather than what he does know. I think his willingness to seek to be publicly angry with Europe is laziness. He is trying to use political pressure to achieve his goal rather than having done his research and come up with facts and figures and AN ACTUAL PLAN that proves to be an actual deal, good idea and asset to Europe in relying on the USA rather than Russia.
The First Lady looks lovely. She has some of the most unique fashion of current trends.
