Trump gets his way at NATO summit as leaders reaffirm commitment to protect each other

# US President Donald Trump joined NATO leaders in reaffirming the commitment to protect each other after allies agreed to ramp up defence spending. Trump secured a key foreign policy win by getting NATO’s 32 countries to agree to meet his target of five-percent of GDP on defence spending. In a move that will provide reassurance to allies in Europe worried over the threat from Russia, Trump signed off on a final leaders’ declaration confirming their “ironclad commitment” to NATO’s pledge that an attack on one is an attack on all.
