The NATO Secretary -General, Mark Rutte“Broke” the code on how to be a Summit Summit with the participation of Trump successful. Just call “Daddy”, writes the European edition of Politico by commenting on the – perhaps – more viral moment of NATO’s meeting that completed its record work in The Hague in Wednesday.

The US president, who was not reminiscent of anything and no one, was flattered and apparently happy during his visit to the NATO Summit in Brussels in 2018, gave a press conference on which the “Babaka” theme returned and even imitated him. Mark Rutte said “Daddy … You’re my dad”with the head of American diplomacy, Mark Rubiositting behind him to burst into laughter.

The occasion this time there was a journalist question from the British network Sky Newswho asked to find out if he considers the United States allies in NATO … kids with himself answering how “It takes a little help, especially at the beginning” celebrating his second victory in a few hours, The commitment of 32 Member States to drastically increase their defense spending to 5% of their GDP by 2035. In particular, NATO member states should devote 3.5% of their GDP to military spending and 1.5% to wider investment in defense and security.

Donald Trump described the decision as “A great victory for Europe and Western culture” With the leaders of the 32 countries who came to the Summit anxiously for the moods of the President of the United States, after their previous statements on Article 5 of the Alliance, to leave relieved, reassembling their steadfast commitment to the reciprocal clause.

But the president of Ukraine came out and the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenskiwho met with the Donald Trump For about an hour with their encounter not reminiscent of anything in the winter at the Oval Office. This time, even Zelenski even wore a black suit – instead of his military variant, with the US president observing it and commenting that “He wears his good.”

Spain did not escape Trump’s fire, as Madrid insists that the 5% goal remains difficult, with the US president insisting that it is horrible what she is doing and that she does not know what her problem is, while – earlier – she had already told her, It is negotiated single.

And on the issue of Trump tariff policy, turmoil with the French president were recorded Emmanuel Macron Note that on the one hand the US is asking us to spend more on defense but also drown our savings with duties with German Chancellor, Friedrich Mertz To comment that the Brussels and Washington talks are complicated.

In vain those who attempted to persuade the US president not to hesitate to impose sanctions on Russia’s president, Vladimir Putinthey failed to pay attention to them. After all, in the final announcement of alliance conclusions, which was limited to just five paragraphs, the issue of Ukraine was limited to just one sentence, which concerns the ‘Lasting sovereign commitments’ of members of members ‘To provide support to Ukraine’ and therefore the scope, as highlighted “They will include direct contributions to its defense and its defense industry when calculating the allies’ defense spending.”
