Good job by US President Trump here. At the start of his term, he chided "delinquent" NATO member countries for not contributing enough for their own continental and national defense, the US was subsidizing their defense.
Yes, no such
thing as cheap and highly subsidized defense of Europe. Now EU leaders have become more responsible with their own continental defense. Soon MidEast leaders will
do this too. And Japan, S. Korea too?
Four stories here.
