Trump forced more NATO responsibilities by EU members

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.
