Trump Fumes At NATO ‘Laggard’ During Meet With Finland President; ‘May Be Should Throw Them Out…’

― Hindustan Times

President Donald Trump praised NATO and several European leaders for their increased defense commitments and support to Ukraine, acknowledging notable purchases of U.S. military equipment and strong support from partners like Finland. However, Trump sharply criticized Spain for refusing his 5% defense spending benchmark and for opting out of a U.S. F-35 deal, labeling the country a “laggard.” He questioned Spain’s place in NATO and suggested stronger pressure—including possible expulsion—for noncompliance. Trump’s comments come amid growing frustration over the continued war in Ukraine, with the U.S. and NATO stepping up arms transfers, sanctions, and diplomatic pressure on Russia, despite divisions within the alliance over defense spending and strategy for ending the conflict.
