Reports: Trump Could Opt Out of Upcoming NATO Summit

President Donald Trump could opt to skip the upcoming NATO summit in the Netherlands in June unless other members of the multi-national defense alliance act on sharing more of the costs, according to reports Friday.

Reuters, citing the Spiegel news magazine, reported that European diplomatic sources say Trump is pressuring the countries, particularly Germany, to increase spending on defense, reports The Jerusalem Post.

Trump has long called for the European allied nations to increase their spending, and last week, when Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with his German counterpart, Boris Pistorius, the topic was further discussed, according to a DOD readout of their conversation.
