poland recently purchased 32 brand-new state of the art f-35 fighter jets and poland is one of only eight nato members. the others -- some of them haven't done so well in terms of what they're supposed to be paying to nato. i tell them all the time and we've gotten them up a lot but not enough. poland is one of only eight that is current with the money that they are supposed to be paying. that's the 2%. 2% is a very low number. but we have a large number of countries that haven't paid. they're delinquent, let's put it that way. so the united states is defending a lot of countries that are delinquent on what they're supposed to be paying and i never feel too good about that. i spoke with the secretary general and he said we've done a great job. but i said we haven't done good enough job. we have secured, though, over $400 billion in new pledge defense spending from nato members which is something that no other administration has come even close to. i would say they're off by many, many hundreds of billions of dollars. something the newspaper doesn't like writing about that the media doesn'

he was fighting for the independence of poland. he suffered heavy wounds in poland. fighting for the independence of our country. and for completely incomprehensible reasons to us, that monument was devastated recently. -- recently. thank you so much that it has been renewed so fast. and that was -- that made it possible for me to lay flowers at that monument and pay tribute to the great soldier and great commander. thank you for that. that was outrageous for a big number of polish people. back in poland. all of them probably. and for many, many polish people living here in the united states. polish organizations here in the united states asked me and told me that they would renew that monument and i know that it has already been renewed by the united states. no assistance was needed. i'm very grateful for that. that here, that monument near the white house -- [indiscernible] -- as it should look, which he has deserved for the merits he laid for the united states and poland. so thank you very much for that, mr. president. in answer to your question, two months ago at

poland has been very terrific i believe poland is accepting any of the energy from the pipeline from russia. that sends a signal right there. all of that said we expect to get along with russia and everybody. germany owes a lot of money and nato what has been going on for many years. you are getting close to $1 trillion that doesn't treat natoed fairly that the united states is the major participant so we defend europe to take tremendous advantage of the united states on trade, and advantage like you would not believe. we try to work thatt. out i imagine they like to wait and tell after the election to deal with someone other than president trump after the election they have to pay more but that's how it is.s. >> first of all, . >>translator: i respect donald trump and the united states of america. hee largest superpower in the world i would dare say that i would not tell where to send his soldiers it is a powerful decision however i do notde deny i requested he not withdraw us forces from europe because that is important to me and that is a guarantee but if i am ready to receive mor

poland is extremely important to me. but also in the economic sphere where it's speaking about increasing military importance between poland and the united states. i have no doubt whatsoever that this corporation will lead to the strengthening of the security of the european union, strengthening of the eastern flank of nato and first and foremost from my perspective, it will transcend the security of poland. and it will also land additional financial credibility to poland, investment credibility on part of american investors. one month ago global company microsoft announced that they are going to invest $1 billion in poland to establish a state-of-the-art data center and today officially google company published the information that they are also going to invest including i.t. technologies. this is going to be an even greater investment, the investment of mike so. i have no doubts whatsoever that this additional investment that the american companies are making right now results from a very efficient policy that we are c

to me as president of the republic of poland this meeting is important because poland is the first countryoronavirus pandemic which has been invited to the meeting in the white house to discuss the most important matters concerning the future, concerning how the relations will look between united states and poland in terms of economy. what those relations will be like, in the military sphere and what those relations will be like in the sphere of health protections all of those elements which are of key importance today. a very big part of our discussions today with mr. president and our collaborators were dedicated, that coronavirus what the situation looks like in europe and on the global stage. as concerns the fight against the coronavirus also with the united states and we're also thinking about what measures to take in the future. first and foremost, thank you, mr. president, for the declaration we'll also cooperate and our scientists will cooperate and collaborate conducting research concerning the vaccine and therapy drugs against coronavirus. everything that will be conducive to fig

that send to russia thank you well just to start as you know poland is as i've said many times poland is one of the few countries that are fulfilling their obligations under nato particular their monetary obligations and they asked us if we would send some additional troops they're going to pay for that they'll be paying for the sending of additional troops and we'll probably be moving them from germany to poland we're going to be reducing germany versus intially down to about 25000 troops we actually had 52000 but we'll be moving it down to about 25000 germany is paying a very small fraction of what they're supposed to be paying should be paying 2 percent and they're paying a little bit more than one percent depending on how you calculate you could also calculate they paid it that that paying less than one percent but if you assume they're paying one percent that's a tremendous. delinquency let's use that word delinquency so we're going to be reducing our forces in germany some will be coming home and some will be going to other places but poland would be one of those other places ot

listen we all know what a wonderful country and a great country poland is and it's my honor to have a friend of mine here president dude of poland who has done an incredible job and i do believe he has an election coming up and i do believe he'll be very successful so thank you very much and all of your representatives thank you very much for being here is the 3rd time that we've hosted president duda the 1st lady and i also cherish a remarkable visit to poland 3 years ago that was an in mazing event we had an event because it was a speech and a lot of people watched that speech but it was a very historic moment and an important moment for our 2 countries the american a polish people enjoy one of the world's oldest strongest and most enduring friendships polish patriots battled by our side to secure american independence american and polish warriors fought and died together to defeat the nazis in world war 2 the united states stood shoulder to shoulder with poland in its courageous struggle against communist oppression our bond has been forged in battle and sealed in blood and stren

but poland has been very, very terrific. in fact, i don't believe poland is ac actually accepting any off the energy pipeline from russia. that send a signal right there. we expect to get along with russia. we expect to get along with everybody. germany has -- they really owe a lot of money in nato. this has been going on for many years. when you add it all up, you're probably getting close to a trillion dollars. and that is not treating nato fairly. it really isn't treating the united states fairly. you know, the united states is a very -- is the major participant in nato. we pay more than anybody else by far. we have for many, many years. so we defend europe, but europe also takes tremendous advantage of the united states on trade. advantage like you wouldn't believe. so we are trying to work that out. and i would imagine they would like to wait until after the election so that maybe they could deal with somebody other than president trump. at the election, they will just have to pay more. but that is the way it is okay? >

thank you. >> well just to start, as you know poland is, as i have said many times, poland is one of the few countries that are fulfilling their obligations under nato. in particular their monetary obligations. they asked us if we would send some additional troops. they are going to pay for that. they will be paying for sending of additional troops and we'll probably be moving them from germany to poland. we're going to be reducing germany very substantially, down to about 25,000 troops. we actually had 52,000, but we'll be moving it down to 25,000. germany is paying a very small fraction of what they're supposed to be paying. they should be paying 2%. they're paying a little bit more than 1% depending how you calculate. you could also calculate they're paying less than 1% but if you assume they're paying 1%, that's a tremendous delinquency. let's use that word, delinquency. so we'll be reducing our forces in germany. some will be coming home. some will be going to other places but, poland will be one of those other places. other places in europe. reporter: [inaudible]. message to ru
