aid. at that summit in 2014. >> all 28 members of nato declared their intention to move towards a minimum security commitment of 2% of their gross domestic product on defense within the decade. in the words of the summit's declaration, such investments were necessary in as of this moment, the united states and only four others meet this standard. while we commend the nation on track to achieve that goal, many others including some of our largest allies lack a path to meeting the goal. the president of the united states expects our allies to keep their word and fulfill their commitment for most the time has come to do more.

[ applause ] we must shoulder the responsibility together because the danger we face is growing and changing every day. the world is a dangerous place a quart century ago. the threat expand the global to islamic terrorism and the threat possessed by iran and north korea and many others who threaten our security and the way of live. the rise of adverse -- poland and the baltic states. rest assured the united states along with united kingdom, canada and germany will continue

its role and we will support others to support this alliance. [ applause ] >> with regard to ukraine we must hold russia accountable. no this, the united states will continue to hold russia accountable even as we search for common ground as you know president trump believes can be found. so the south violence rippling in every direction in europe and the united states. terror continues to destabilize the middle east and related actions comprehensive resource to devote to these efforts of the let me be clear again, under

president trump, the united states will remain fully committed to ensuring that iran never obtains a nuclear weapon capable of threatening our allies in the region especially israel.

of history. it showed a savagery unseen since the middle ages. the united states will fight tirelessly to crush the enemy and consign them to the asheep of history where they belong. [ applause ] last month the president order a development to utterly defeat isis. ensuring the security of our allies. to confront the threat nato must build upon and continue to evolve to confront the crisis of today and tomorrow. last summer president trump called on nato to step up effort

to before had reaches our borders. but, we must do more. much more. consistent with the president's call we are harden to see this have collaboration on counter terrorism in nato's position to fulfill its mission. we must cutoff terrorists funding increasing cyber capability. we must be as -- as we are in the physical world. we must stay one step ahead of

our adversary. our leadership of the free world will not falter even for a moment. other strength and that of this alliance is not to arrive solely from our strength it's from our principle and principles we cherish, democracy and the rule of law. these are the well string of united states strength and of europe strength. they spring from the timeless notion that our unail able rights are not groanted by king, endowed by our creator. faith in these timeless ideals.

as president trump said in the inaugural address, we do not seek to impose our way of live on anyone but to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow. this is our cause. that's why nato exists. it's my after so many centuries of strife and division europe is uni unified. united states has been faith to europe for many years and we will keep the faith. we share a past and after all we have been through, we share a future. today, tomorrow be confident that united states will always be your greatest ally.

we're joined by international diplomat from munich. great to have you with us, nick. looking at what the vice president had to say, it was different from what president trump said to the past when we attacked both nato and the europe -- >> it's a stretch. the european are rattled by vice president pence. it's what's been wait willing for and the vice president was pence clear saying this is a message from president trump leaving no one in the room with any doubt that's the new message from president trump disregard the old one that nato is ob leet

and president trump is -- he said why you're success is our success. you're struggles are our struggles. fighting together in both world wars to bring democracy. a freedom of democracy, all of these being important. but it was a first bit of his speech that he got to quickly speaking about nato that seemed to get the biggest round of applause. this is what he said. >> today on behalf of president trump i bring you this assurance, the united states of america strongly supports nato and will be unwafering in our commitment to this transatlantic alliance. [ applause ] >> reporter: there's a less sound round of applause when he

talk president trump nuclear deal. a lot of country were part of that as well. he had another worry for european is what the relationship of president trump women have a president putin. he said we united states will continue to hold russia accountable. that was something that you could believe that europe peen leaders wanted to hear. he said we will seek common ground which president trump believes is possible. there's a message that president trump is sending clearly here that he is going to strike a deal or intend to find a deal on some deals with president putin. not clear what is it. this what they have been waiting to hear from mike pence.

we heard from angela merkel laying out how she believes united states is important, tackling threats like isis. she laid out importance of that as well. >> she has been insisting. given the advise what pence has said can she breathe the sigh of relief that the united states is on the same page? >> she had some subtle messages, but she had pushed back for some of the things ta president trump said about her, president trump said there's german cars mercedes on 5th avenue there's a trade imbalance between --

president trump should take fact that there's iphone in europe and germany as well. we got what we wanted from this administration. the concerns are deep and for from laid to rest. this is potential reset after a lot of things that president trump already said. >> great to have your analysis on everything. thank you, so much. >> vice president setting the new record straight with u.s. allies. the president is in florida for what his aides say is a working weekend. he set to campaign-style rally in florida. >> palm beach resort of mar-a-lago, he expected to hold

meetings and finding a new national security adviser. we have more from athena jones. >> the president is spending third consecutive weekend here in palm beach. all kicking off with that rally on saturday afternoon at orlando airport campaign paid for by the campaign something aimed at get around the media filter that we heard the president talk about and being able to talk directly to the people. he going to spend some time meeting with replacement former national security adviser. he supposed to meet with former ambassador united nation. and keith kellogg. the president's top aides are down here in florida with him

for the weekend. they will be joined by president newly confirmed offer mick mulvaney and tom price to talk about next steps and it comes to repealing when and replacing obamacare. he have is not vacationing in his vacation home. >> thank you, athena. >> u.s. foreign policy, great to have you with us. >> thank you. >> i want to look at some of the comments that the u.s. president made during the press conference. he berated journalist.

the sort of people that said that phrase were dictators how do you think that resonate was people? >> obviously, it divides people. before going down that road, dictatorship, i want to keep focus on the point here. he throws of deflection. he didn't want to be held to account for the details of what might have happened around his ties and mike flynn. he coherent on policy so this is default tactic.

this can go on and on without thinking he is a dictator. >> some critics suggested it could have been a distraction from the bigger issue, the questions we will continue to ask with the trump transition team. that news conference in the united states many americans reviewed it one way others reviewed it another way. i want to ask you about the vice president of the united states in europe at this hour speaking with u.s. allies reassuring them that the u.s. has got their back but at the same time making sure they understand their commitments are also expected. >> that's the superficial.

reassurance. they belief with close relationship with europe. trump and some of his adviser like steve bannon, we are not sure they are commitment today that. they have been commitmented to the idea of pursuing relationship with vladimir putin. if it's a question of maintaini maintaining sanction, with they stand with nato or with trump overrule it. something which trump denies has happened, will trump and bannon pursue a new type of policy this remains to be seen. >> the vice president in that at the podium in europe, said that the u.s. will hold russia accountable so the vice president did mention russia in

his description of how the u.s. will continue to stand with allies. thank you, so much for your insight. cnn newsroom will be right back after this. they're twice as big as regular wipes, so you're done in half the time. and you're off. johnson's. for every little wonder. knows how it feels to seees your numbers go up,

we put this question to the kremlin this week. it's distinguished to real news from fake news, they didn't deny there was contact and this was something we seen from high ranking before. russian news agencies saying there were contacts, they hope they continue after the campaign and there was nothing out of the ordinary about that. there's no suggestion of that. it's interesting to note that the kremlin in a way bit like trump pushed this back on the media talking about unanimous sources and fake news because there's a level of concern here in moscow that the pressure on president trump from the media and opponents within his party to his policy towards russia will push him to turn away to

make him make a tougher stance on russia. certainly comparing vice president pence's speech just now, reaffirming u.s. commitment to nato with candidate trump's campaign trail calling nato obsolete. now pence repeated it siting trump. we have seeing contradictory statements on trump and the rest of the team. so much to discuss. we'll talk to you very soon. >> still ahead this hour, a new

cnn, istanbul.

and my life is basketball.west, but that doesn't stop my afib from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years. until i learned more about once-daily xarelto®... a latest-generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto® significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective. targeting one critical factor of your body's natural clotting function.

for people with afib currently well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle-related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto®. insurance changes? xarelto® has you covered.
