Pence: Unfair Burden of Supporting NATO ‘Must Come to an End’

PENCE: "I can say with confidence, America will do our part, but Europe’s defense requires Europe’s commitment as much as ours. At the Wales Summit in 2014 all 28 members of the NATO alliance declared their intention to move towards a minimum security investment of 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense within a decade. As a candidate for office President Trump actually called attention repeatedly to the fact that for too long, for too many, this burden has not been shared fairly among our NATO allies and that must come to an end."
