set up back in 1949 to establish a system of collective defence between north america and europe and donald trump's the us has continued to pay a higher proportion of its gdp than many eu countries, but eagerly rich european countries like germany. now he is claiming that he has persuaded them to chip in more. the message from european leaders, emmanuel macron being one example yesterday, is total denial. within minutes of the press conference ending the french president said that the other alliance members had simply agree to keep to the spending commitments, which had already been made. what is interesting about this is it is a classic example of the kind of war of words that trump is famous for. he says one thing, it is denied. you are never actually quite clear what the reality, where the truth lies. it isa the reality, where the truth lies. it is a tactic, a pressure tactic, one could call it. it is a pressure tactic and a way of donald trump trying to take credit for a visit which bacchae will be playing as a rather mixed reception he has had in europe. —— back home. it won't play well in the
