Well, the president's position on NATO is the same every other president has had. And that is that our allies, many of our allies in NATO do not do enough to provide for their own security. Every other president has made the same complaint. He's just actually been serious about it. And that's what he's pointing to. And it's interesting. And in fairness.

They say, well, we don't need to spend that much on- Us. Yeah, we don't need to spend as much on defense because America has soldiers here, and if they get attacked, they'll be our national defense.
