Trump, ahead of Putin summit, says NATO ‘never been stronger’
HELSINKI, July 16, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – US President Donald Trump headed into a
summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin on Monday insisting that the NATO
alliance had never been stronger or more unified.
“NATO’s never been stronger. NATO has never been more together,” he said
at a breakfast meeting with the Finnish President Sauli Niinisto. US allies
“are now agreeing to pay” their fair share, Trump added.
