During one of the press conferences, Trump again highlighted the need for other members of NATO to share the financial load when it comes to military spending. Stoltenberg credited Trump with strengthening the alliance with his calls.

"We are making real progress, most importantly, on the burden-sharing. And your leadership on defense spending is having a real impact. Since 2016, Canada and European allies have added $130 billion more to the defense budgets. And this number will increase to $400 billion...by 2024. This is unprecedented. This is making NATO stronger, and it shows that this alliance is adapting and responding when the world is changing," Stoltenberg said.
