Ara'Daddy' Trump arrives at the NATO summit eager to scold European alliesara.catIt has been days since Donald Trump began warming up for this week's NATO summit in Ankara. Although until recently he achieved almost everything he set out to do from his allies, the President of the United States has seen European leaders refuse in recent months to participate in the war in Iran and even criticize him. Furthermore, even though they had committed to it at last year's Atlantic Alliance summit, more and more partners are admitting difficulties or directly refusing to spend 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. Two issues that deeply anger Trump, and his European counterparts are already preparing for the US president's reproaches, according to NATO diplomatic sources: it remains to be seen in what tone.
