Donald Trump has stated that although the US strongly supports NATO, it wants all members to make their full contributions to the alliance.
His comments were made during a speech at the US Central Command in Florida.
The comment came just one day after Trump – who has long been critical about NATO’s role and the cost of its upkeep – committed to attend the alliance’s summit in Brussels in May.
The White House has confirmed that Trump will attend the summit.
Trump spoke with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on the telephone on Sunday night, during which the two leaders “reconfirmed the importance of the alliance in troubled times,” according to a NATO statement.
Trump also remarked in his speech that the US military has been “depleted,” but that such depletion would no longer be the case.
