Trump: Foreign Partners Must Pay Their Fair Share of Costs of Operations

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TRUMP: "To those allies who wonder what kind of a friend America will be, look no further than the heroes who wear our uniform. Our foreign policy calls for a direct, robust and meaningful engagement with the world. It is American leadership based on vital security that we share with our allies all across the globe. We strongly support NATO, an alliance forged with the bonds of two world wars that dethroned fascism, and the Cold War, and defeated communism. But our partners must meet their financial obligations. And now, based on our very strong and frank discussions, they are beginning to do just that. In fact, I can tell you the money is pouring in. Very nice. Very nice. We expect our partners, whether in NATO, the Middle East, or in the Pacific, to take a direct and meaningful role in both strategic and military operations. And pay their fair share of the cost. You have to do it."
