NATO Secretary-Genera Jens Stoltenberg praised Trump for getting countries to increase their contributions.
Jens Stoltenberg: First of all, it’s great to see you again, Mr. President. And good to have you here for a summit. And we are going to discuss many important issues at the summit. Among them is defense spending. And we all agree that we have to do more. I agree with you that we have to do make sure that our allies are investing more. The good news is that allies have started to invest more in defense.
After years of cutting defense budgets, they have started to add billions to their defense budgets. And last year was the biggest increase in defense spending across Europe and Canada in that generation.
Trump: Why was that last year?
Jens Stoltenberg: It’s also because of your leadership, because of your carried message.
Trump: They [the media] won’t write that, but that’s okay.

So if Trump is already getting Canada and the EU to increasing their NATO spending, do you really think Trump (the billionaire known for making deals) is going to lose trade wars to Canada and the EU? Canada and EU are already doing what Trump is asking!
