President Donald Trump said Thursday that he is not threatening to pull the United States out of NATO and is ‘very happy’ with the alliance now that member nations agreed to step up their contributions ‘like never before.’

At a hastily-scheduled news conference, Trump pronounced, ‘The United States’ commitment to NATO is very strong, remains very strong.’

Trump said he was encouraged by members nations’ ‘spirit’ and their willingness to increase the amount of money they’re spending on defense after telling them he’d be ‘very unhappy’ if they did not meet a 2 percent GDP goal.

The president told reporters in Belgium that he has ‘no problem’ with NATO now that member nations have agreed to spend at least $33 billion more on their collective defense. ‘We made a tremendous amount of progress today,’ the American president said.

rump attempted to calm fears in Brussels by promising that he’s a ‘stable genius’ who will not change his mind once he leaves the summit. Luxembourg’s Prime Minister Xavier Bettel had told reporters that Trump ‘was in a good mood’ but said he ‘has Wi-Fi on the plane, so we will have to see in the end.’

The U.S. president left an emergency session of NATO’s top body to set the record straight in the international press before an afternoon departure from Brussels.

‘Yesterday, I let them know that I was extremely unhappy with what was happening and they have substantially upped their commitment,’ a pleased Trump announced. ‘And now we’re very happy, and we have a very, very powerful, very, very strong NATO. Much stronger than it was two days ago.’
