all the w corresponding, terry schultz told us more about the reactions from nato stays just williams, accession, being greenwood as well. the nordic countries have definitely been signaling help please. they are with this that the final country. sweden will be entering nato within just a few days. a swedish prime minister of christ or son came out and said, it's an historic day for sweden. they said the country is ready to shoulder its responsibility in euro, atlantic security, nato secretary general, un stilton bird or norwegian also put out a message on x, saying that this is going to make all nato countries safer. and i thought the most touching message actually came from finland, of course, finland and sweden put in their bids to join nato together. but finland got in much sooner than sweden and finished president selling mister said that this accession of sweden finally completes finland own membership and said that they were looking forward to bringing their neighbor into the alliance. so certainly, a lot of, of happiness from around nato numbered states. miss terry schultz rep

am i speaking with donald john by the w as a terry schultz. terri, you've listened into that whole press conference. what are your main take away? well, as you heard from that sound bite from secretary general souls and burke, he came to this meeting fully prepared to have to counter the trump statements that said, anyone who isn't spending enough on defense should, might as well be attacked by russia. so this was definitely hanging over the meeting here today and yesterday, and you know, this was a meeting where everybody needs to be focus on what more they can do for you, pray, what more they can do to deter russia. and it's still, most of the questions were about the, the support of the united states should donald trump become the next president. so this was definitely a damper on the meeting. at the same time, we did still sit, we did still hear of more packages for ukraine from several allies and as you heard and, and get it in the direction of trumps mean targets. how much more countries are spending on their own militaries. this is a pledge that comes do this year, a 10 year pledg

i off the w correspondent, terry schultz, about how all the natural members reacted to trump's comments as well. i think that they're, they're sort of in the middle between not wanting to react too strongly after all. this is just a campaign state statement by a man who has not been elected to office yet. and being very worried that it would give vladimir putin some impetus for thinking he could go further into nato territory. i think they will, for the moment come down as joseph bro has on this is not a serious statement. and, you know, they may also give more credit to put in then that, that the putting himself doesn't take this seriously and doesn't. in fact, think that the united states would stand by and watch him violate the territory of nato. but i think one of the strongest signs that we've seen, that nato is not going to simply silently take this abuse from from donald trump again, is that on sunday, nato secretary general young stalls and berg came out with a statement, rejecting trunk comments, and that's highly unusual for the secretary general to respond to comments like th

terry schultz has more now and whether keith can be satisfied with the commitments made to it at this meeting is that's right, a very sombre anniversary that will be and i don't think you can afford to be satisfied with the outcome of this meeting. we just had an interview with the estonian defense minister, and he was at the forefront of getting the european union to pledge a 1000000 rounds of 155 millimeter ammunition for ukraine. a pledge that will fall far short. it was due to be delivered next month and not even half of it will be there, so definitely keep needs that ammunition that needed it yesterday. at the same time, there were some initiatives announced that i believe will uh make. keep a bit reassured that neither will stand by his side for wonder is going to be a joint training center established in poland where ukrainians will come to be trained. and the allies, as well, will learn from ukraine, the country that knows best how to, how to fight russia. we also heard that there will be a 1000000 drones sent to ukraine, and various countries announced more contributions to w

w correspondent, teddy schultz in brussels. a welcome, a terry talk us through the reaction as well. certainly in sweden they were hanging on this vote in the gary and parliament after 19 months of delay. so the swedish television ran the vote live, they had been basically taking it down ever since a prime minister or bond said last week that the hungarian parliament would definitely vote today. and so you saw reactions. i mean the, the big headline across swedish tv is just gary and parliament says, yes. so that was something definitely that people there were waiting on a prime minister of christmas instead, immediately that sweden is ready to shoulder its responsibility in the alliance. so from here in brussels, we had nato secretary general young souls and bird say that it's a great day say that now that sweden will become the 30 seconds to ally and one that i found very touching, given that feeling and sweet, and actually applied to join at the same time, the finish president cell, the name is there, said that now sweden's membership would co
