We are working together.
The hike a year ago was about promises.
This summit, when it comes to the money, when it comes to the defense industry output, when it comes to support for Ukraine, is about delivery.
And the shift in mindset taking place now is that defense has to be core and central of what we are doing, because this is about the first task of a government, which is to keep our part of the world and our country safe.
One billion people living in NATO territory.
195,000 jobs being supported by EU and Canadian, European and Canadian investments in the defense industry based in the U.S.
What I sense generally in the U.S.
is disappointment when it comes to what I would say are isolated cases where Europeans did not always fulfill what was bilaterally agreed previously when it comes, for example, to basing agreements.

Now I want to take you, if you stay here, I go over to these boards here, because I want to show you what this president was able to achieve.
And I start with this chart.
This chart is about the Trump trillion.
The Trump trillion shows you the increase Europeans and Canadians are paying into defense since you took office in 2017.
This president is really doing a huge amount of work to get NATO in better shape.

But what I wanted to show to him tonight is that over the last 10 years, since Trump 45 and now Trump 47, we see this staggering increase on European and Canadian allies spending more, but also when it comes to the year-on-year increase, Trump 47 in 2025, almost 20% more spending.
voice-verified
which is, of course, because of Russia and the threat and the war in Ukraine, but also very much because this president is quite forcefully encouraging allies to spend more.
voice-verified
And I think it is fair to share that with him.
