President Trump on Wednesday morning will give remarks from the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
Trump’s comments from The Hague come as he faces pressure at home over U.S. strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran — though Secretary General Mark Rutte has responded favorably to the decision — and whether the U.S. will comply with the NATO treaty’s Article 5 — which states that an attack on one member state is an attack on all and would require action.
The president has been critical of some allies in recent years, arguing many were not putting their fair share of funds into defense. He has requested 5 percent, and Rutte has signaled the alliance is on the cusp of accepting that demand.
The press conference is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. EDT.
