Trump offers commitment to defending NATO allies
By Ben Kamisar - 06/09/17 03:33 PM EDTPresident Trump underlined the U.S. commitment to defending other members of NATO during a Friday press conference, just weeks after failing to do so at a meeting with other leaders of the organization in Brussels.
Speaking during a joint press conference with the president of Romania in the White House Rose Garden, Trump said he'd stand by the defense clause in NATO's treaty, called Article 5.
He also repeated his assertion that NATO allies need to pay more dues so that America does not shoulder too much of the financial burden when it comes to cost-sharing.
