Trump threatens NATO summit no-show if allies don’t act on spending: Report

Washington’s envoy has warned that US President Donald Trump could skip the upcoming NATO summit if other members of the defense alliance do not act on burden-sharing, the Spiegel news magazine reported on Friday, citing European diplomatic sources.

Germany in particular has come under pressure to boost its defense spending considerably, with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth having spoken with his German counterpart Boris Pistorius on the issue last week, the report added.
