NATO Chief to Trump: ‘Totally Logical’ for You to Want Europeans Paying for Ukraine’s Defense

EXCERPT:

RUTTE: “This is really big. You called me on Thursday, that you have taken a decision. And the decision is that you want Ukraine what it needs to have to maintain, to be able to defend itself against Russia, but you do want the Europeans to pay for it, which is totally logical. And this is building on the tremendous success of the NATO summit, the 5 percent, but also the decision to keep Ukraine strong, and the decision to increase our defense industrial production. So based on that, this is -- that was Europe stepping up. This is again, Europeans stepping up.”
