60% of women wear the wrong size pad and can experience leaks. you don't have to with always my fit this is a cbs news special report. i'm john dickerson with norah o'donnell in new york. president trump is speaking to reporters in belgium in an unscheduled news conference. >> this follows a special meeting of nato leaders. let's go right to the president. >> i attended my first meeting.
3:20 am
it was going down, the amount of money being spent by countries is going down and now is going up substantially and commitments were made. only 5 of 29 countries were making their commitment and that's now changed. the commitment was at 2%. ultimately that will be going up quite a bit higher than that. so we made a tremendous amount of progress today. it's been about, at a minimum, they estimate and they're going to be giving you exact numbers. since last year they've raised an additional $33 billion that's been put up by the various countries not including the united states, and the united states' commitment to nato is very strong. remains very strong. but primarily because everyone, the spirit they have, the amount of money they're willing to spend, the additional money they will be putting up, has been
3:21 am
really amazing to see the level of spirit in that room is incrle.ed and i hope that we're going to be able to get along with russia. i think that we probably will be able to. the people in the room think so. they, nevertheleeally eppedp tirss c,omtmentnd stepped it up like they never have before. we took in an additional 33. the number could actually be higher than 40 when they give you the final number.the secret giving those numbers some time today probably in his concluding press statement. but we are doing numbers like n ever seen before, and you'll be seeing that and i guess you'll be hearing that a little bit later. okay, we have our secretary of state, as you know, and we have john is here. if you have any questions for the three of us.
3:22 am
mike pompeo just got back from a third trip, as you know, to north korea. he's become a true expert on the trips to north korea, the best way to get there, the best way to get out, and he gets along very well and is doing a nice job. yes, ma'am? yes? i told people i would be unhappy if they didn't up their commitments substantially. the united states has been paying a tremendous amount, probably 90% of the cost of nato and now people are gd cooiies w upping their commitment. i let them know, actually i was surprised you didn't pick it up. it took until today. yesterday i let them know i was extremely unhappy with what was happening and they have upped their commitment and now we're
3:23 am
very happy and have a very powerful, very strong nato, much stronger than it was two days ago. yes, ma'am? yes, hi. how are you? i know, you're very famous on television. >> i have a question about did you ever at any point say the u.s. might stop engaging in the field and are you worried people will think -- there are a lot of people say they were very stressed by what you did yesterday. >> they probably were worried because the united states was not being treated fairly but now we are because the commitment has been upped so much. i was very firm yesterday. you have to understand, i know a lot of people in the room. i let them know last year inr b firm, they raised additional money. it's $33 billion as of today. and then today and yesterday i
3:24 am
was probably a little bit more firm but i believe in nato. i think nato is very important, probably the greatest ever done. the united states was paying for anywhere from 70% to 90% of it. that's not fair to the united states. in addition to that, as you know, we're in negotiations with the eu and we'll be meeting with them next week. we've been treated unfairly on trade. our farmers have been shut out of the european union. now you could say they're different but basically to a large extent they're the same countries. so i think we're going to be ultimately treated fairly on trade. we'll see what happens. nato now is really a fine-tuned machine. people are paying money they never paid before. they're happy to do it, and the united states iseing treated much more fairly. yes, sir? >> did you win any concessions in your meeting and discussions with the german chancellor when it comes to german defense spending and also this issue of
3:25 am
purchasing energy from russia? and secondly, what would you say to your critics that say by creating the scene here at nato you're only enabling president putin in russia to further disturb things in ukraine and georgia? >> if you consider putting up tremendously -- you know, funds that nobody has ever seen before, i don't think that's helping russia. i think nato is much stronger now than two days ago, that nato was not doing what they were supposed to be doing, a lot of the countries. we were doing much more than we should have been doing, frankly. we were carrying too much of a burden. that's why we call it burden sharing. i was using the term a lot today, burden sharing. we had a fantastic meeting at the end. 29 countries. and they are putting up a lot. germany has increased very substantially their time period, and germany is coming along. we still have to figure out what's going on the
3:26 am
pipeline because the pipeline is coming in fromit hrussia. we'll have to figure that out. i brought it up. nobody brought it up but me and we all are talking about it now and actually i think the world is talking about it now maybe more thannyg . we're going to f out and, frankly, maybe everybody will have a good relationship with russia so there will be a lot less problem to me that was a very major point of contention. we discussed it at length today. germany has agreed to do a lot better than they were doing and we're very happy with that. we had a very good relationship with angela merkel. yes? >> mr. president, thank you. from bloomberg -- >> after all these years, i know, margaret.ybi'm being dens could you just clarify, are you still threatening to potentially pull the united states out of nato for any reason? and do you believe you can do that without congress' explicit
3:27 am
support and approval? >> i think i probably can, but that's unnecessary. and the people have stepped up today like they've never stepped up before. and remember the word, $33 billion more they're paying, and you'll hear that from the secretary-general in a little while. he thanked me actually. he actually thanked me. everybody in the room thanked me. there's a great collegial spirit in that room that i don't think they've had in many years. they're very strong. yeah, very unified, very strong, no problem. right? >> we're in nato. >> no problem. >> mr. president, you have said previously you wanted the countries to step up spending to 2%. yesterday the thought was 4% or 2% at a quicker timetable. can you clarify what did they commit to doing? is that satisfactory to you? >> what they're doing is spending at a much faster clip up to the 2% level.
3:28 am
some have parliaments, their own congresses, the things they have to go through. they're here as a prime minister, as a president, and they can't necessarily go in and say this is what we're going to do. they're going back for approvals. some are at 2%. others have agreed definitely to go to 2%. and some are going back to get the approval, which they will get, to go to 2%. after2%, we'll stalk about going higher. ultimately we should be in years at 4%. i think 4% is the right now. now the united states, depending on the way you calculate it, was at 4.2%. i said that's unfair. and we have the largest gdp by far especially since we've increased it by so much since a thing called the election. our gdp has gone way up. so the fact that our gdp went way up, that means we're paying for more, which is very unfair. i explained that. we will go to much higher than 2% into the future.
3:29 am
but right now we're getting people up to 2% and that will take place over a fairly short period of time. a short number of ahead. >> hi, we understand -- >> congratulations, by the way. >> thank you. >> on soccer. >> thank you. we understand your message, but some people ask themselves, will you be tweeting differently once you board air force one? thank you. >> no, that's other people that do that. i don't. i'm very consistent. i'm a very stable genius. yah, go ahead. >> thank you, sir. jeremy diamond with cnn. thank you. quick question with regards to germany and the comments you made yesterday. do you feel like given the threats you made about potentially leaving nato, about insulting germany's sovereignty it appears by suggesting they are totally controlled by russia, do you feel that's an effective way to conduct diplomacy? and, secondly, would you be able
3:30 am
to be more specific about the commitments you secure today with regards to increasing financial commitment? is there an updated time line? are there specific countries you could cite? the majority of them are already planning to meet that 2% threshold by 2024. >> no. many of them, in fact germany was going to be in the year 2028 or '30, yeah, i think it's a very effective way to deal, but i didn't deal exactly the way you said. i have great respect for germany. my father is from germany. both of my parents are from the eu, despite the fact they don't treat us well on trade. i think that will change, also. i think we'll see that because on the 25th of july they're coming in to start negotiations. we'll see. and if they don't negotiate in good faith, we'll do something having to do with all of the millions of cars coming into our country being taxed at a virtually zero level, at a very low level. jeremy, i think it's been an effective way of negotiating. i'm not negotiating.
3:31 am
i just want fairness for the united states. we're paying for far too much of nato. nato is very important. but nato is helping europe more than it's helping us. at the same time it's very good for us. so we have now got it to a point where people are paying a lot mo mone and tt's starting really last year. it really had -- you were there last year, and last year we had a big impact. again, we took in $33 billion more and stottenberg gives us total credit, meaning me, i guess, total credit, because i said it was unfair. now what has happened is presidents over many years, from ronald reagan to barack obama, they came in, they said, hey, do the best you can and they left. nobody did anything about it and it got to the point the united states was paying for 90% of nato. and that's not fair. so it's changed.
3:32 am
we had a really good meeting toda great meeting in terms we along.getting i know most of the people in the room because of last year, because of the year and a half that we've been in office, year and a half plus, but we have a great relationship. everybody in that room, by the time we left, got along and they agreed to pay more and they agreed to pay it more quickly. go ahed, phil. >> mr. president, you tweeted yesterday what good is nato and you've talked about nato as an alliance that benefits europe, that defends and protects europe. do you see any value of nato to the united states, vis-a-vis russia? does it help protect the united states from russia in your view? >> i think it's another very strong ally as together it's much stronger than obviously individual countries. i think it's the way we have it now i think it's a much -- i think nato got -- you know what was happening with spending prior to my getting into office. the numbers were going down. now the numbers have gone up
3:33 am
like a rocket ship. the numbers have gone up a lot and they've gone up rapidly and they're going up further. so i think nato will be very, very effective. i'm impressed with and know him, he's a friend of mine, but secretary-general stottenberg has done a good job putting it together. we were the ones that gave him an extension of his contract, as you know. i think he's done a good job. when i was saying that i am very concerned with the pipeline. i don't like the pipeline. when you have people you're protecting against, maybe we'll get along with the group we're protecting against. that's a real possibility. i'm meeting with president putin on monday. i think we go into that meeting not looking for so much. we want to find out about syria. >> that's president trump in an impromptu press conference in brussels after meeting with nato leaders.
3:34 am
the president declaring he was successful. we'll have to check the numbers from the individual countries about their commitments to nato. >> the president declaring victory after bullying former members of nato saying they're not paying much from an emergency session saying they are going to pay more. they will pay more quickly. he did concede the governments have congresses o lawmakers -- r> parliaments -- >> parliaments that need approval to do that. he wanted to claim some sort of victory. >> he deserves much of the credit for that. >> the key point the president who declared nato obsolete said it is very good for us, the united states. it's been a question about whether the president believes in the 70-year-old alliance. taking a victory lap on the money but reaffirming the benefit of nato people were nervous about. we will have much more on the story coming up at 7:00 a.m. this morning. >> coverage will continue
3:35 am
