WHAT TO EXPECT: Trump travels to Turkey for NATO summit with defense spending disappointment

Aboard his new Air Force One gifted by Qatar, President Donald Trump will travel to Ankara Monday evening with a long list of grievances for NATO allies gathering in the Turkish capital for a two-day summit. Still irritated that members of the military alliance didn't heed his call to assist in the Iran war, Trump also continues to accuse allies of not carrying their weight in defense spending. "I was disappointed with Italy. I was disappointed with the UK...We were disappointed with Germany and France. We're disappointed with most of them. Spain is a horror show. Spain is terrible, even from your standpoint. I mean, they don't want to pay anything. They think they're in for a free ride," Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte last week. https://thenationaldesk.com/news/amer... #trump #nato #turkey #europe #ukraine #defense #politics -------------------------------------- The National Desk (TND) brings you award-winning local storytelling from Sinclair Broadcast Group's local TV newsrooms across the United States and feeds from sources throughout the world.
