Trump Reiterates Call for NATO Nations to Pay for Past Years of Smaller Contributions

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "You know, one of the things I was referring to during that speech was the fact that, yes, they haven’t paid what they should be paying now -- but for many years they haven’t been paying. So I said, do we ever go back and say, how about paying the money from many, many years past? Now, I know no president has ever asked that question, but I do. We are going to make NATO very strong. You need the money to make it strong. You can’t just do what we’ve been doing in the past. So I did say, yes, we haven’t paid this year but what about the past years, the many past years where you haven’t paid? Perhaps you should pay some or all of that money back."
