“Although Spain has not come in, it will do it,” said Donald Trump this Friday: “I guarantee it.” The US President explained this Friday at the press conference in the White House that the Pedro Sanchez government “was the only one who tried to stop the funds”, which was set at 5% of GDP in a statement alleged by consensus 32 members of the Atlantic Alliance.
The NATO summit ended on Wednesday in The Hague with a statement 32, which make expenses 5% of GDP in defense – 3.5% for hard defense costs and 1.5% in the expenses of infrastructure and cybersecurity related to them. But Spain, expressing its refusal of the decision, reached a letter from Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO. This ensured flexibility to achieve goals in the agreed opportunities. According to the Government of Pedro Sanchez, it reaches 2.1% of the Spanish GDP; According to Ruth, Spain will require 3.5% … that together with 1.5% of the expenses associated with them, in the end, will be in the agreed environment.
And this suggests that Rottte is that Donald Trump expressed his phrase that Friday that Spain “ultimately concluded” an agreement, despite the fact that he was “only to those who tried to stop” a 5%goal.
“NATO on weekends showed great respect for our country,” Trump said: “They did what no one considered it possible. They increased funding from 2 % to 5 %; No one thought that they would once pay 2 % and now pay 5 %, which is more than one billion dollars more a year. Think about this, a billion dollars. ”
“No one thought that this could happen,” Trump said: “This is another group of people from different countries, but we get along with many of them. We are respected again. Our country, the United States, respond again, which did not happen six months ago. ”
On Wednesday, at the end of the Khag summit, he showed his anger with Sanchez. “It’s terrible what they did,” Trump said: “I think this is a shame. Therefore, we compensate for this. We are negotiating a commercial agreement, and we force them to pay twice, I say this seriously. Spain is the only country from all countries that refuse to pay. ”
“They came out a little with their own,” Trump said: “But they will have to pay us in trade because I will not allow it to happen. This is unfair. This is not right. ” Are they going to negotiate directly with Spain? “I will do it myself,” Trump said: “They will pay more money like this. They must join all countries that pay 5%, Spain will be almost the only one, they were the most hostile to me. It makes no sense. ”
