is the u.k., poland, estonia, and greece. this is what he will be messaging, it will be about funding and reaching these -- targets.in manus: never far from a comment on trade. we are seeing the lightning fuse lit again. what is the latest from trump on this? rings out the tariffs to china this morning, trade is on the agenda. trump is melding the two together. he is merging the conversations just before he left in a tweet. he said the european union makes it impossible for our farmers and workers and companies to do business in europe. the u.s. has a 151 billion trade dollar -- trade deficit and they want us to defend them through nato and nicely pay for it. just does not work. francine lacqua spoke to the german defense minister and she said it was immature to link these two and another analyst said it is like linking apples and oranges but it is likely trump will link them as they -- he arrives at the nato headquarters. manus: thank you. summit,st on the nato and the prospect is this, that anybody gets on board and spends

that are hitting us are the likes of u.k., estonia, poland, and greece.ut he wants the remainder of members to get that target, and has gone so far to say they are delinquent in the sense that they own money to the united -- forforecast budgets past budgets. that is not exactly how it works. but this is what he is hammering home, and this morning, already attacking germany is just another way to put pressure on these countries. francine: thanks so much. let's keep the conversation on geopolitics and market. still with us are our guests. do we care? does germany care? as long as there is no attack on the surplus, that the treasury does not take any measures against germany. is this just noise on the margins? paul: a little more, what economists call a signaling effect. the signal is it is part of the wider isolationism. there is worry about where the u.s. is going. there is also worried about the level of misunderstanding. there is not a needle budget, as a report is saying. not that they own the united states anything, it is a separate situation. when you

u.k., estonia, poland, and greece, and the united states is on this map. what donald trump wants. new nato building, he will certainly be talking about this new nato building, he will certainly be talking about this. guy: and making this to trade is significant? -- linking this to trade is significant? is setting the time he is serious on trade. he says the european union makes it impossible for farmers, working -- workers, and companies to do business in europe and then they want us to defend them in nato. spoke to the german defense minister who called it immature to lkink the two. donald trump not see this as apples and oranges. you can be certain he is going to link these when he needs his counterparts today. guy: thank you. joining us live from outside the nato building. our global strategist from j.p. morgan asset management is still with us. we talked already that how the markets are responding to some out how thef -- ab markets are responding to some of the stuff. europe is quite vulnerable in many ways. we are seeing a lot of focus on the u.s. and

u.k., greece, astonia and poland.lling me that astonia is doing more than germany? >> 2% of gdp. the other concern is not only the money, but developing capabilities, they committed to spending 20% on major equipment purposes. with russia's belligerence, this is important. the president is on to something. we need these countries to do better on defense burden sharing for nato. >> neil: as you reminded me dating back to barack obama who tried to raise this with his european counter parts with no ava avail. maybe the president has to say i have to be nor in your face about it. and then what about from last year, the attack on one member would be something that would be responded to by all and he was reluctant to commit to that? some read into that a threat and he might follow up by reproving troops from the european continent, maybe germany. what do you think? >> it's a possibility. the president is trying to move this off dead center. five countries out of 29, we'll have eight this year when romania and latvia join th

poland, lithuania, the u.k. didn't like it. they say we need a diverse fuel supply in europe.'t get it. i don't get the double standard here. >> % of the russian government's revenue comes from oil and gas exports. i would argue russia's greatest weapon in foreign policy is energy. trump is saying if you are going to become overly dependent on russian energy sources you are letting the fox into the hen house. more importantly and the other conversations with nato countries, only 5 of the 29 are meeting their obligations. one of the worst offenders is germany. merkel has informed the world they are going to get to 1.5% by 2025. the american taxpayer by overly funding the common defense of europe is allowing you guys to make terrible decisions. also overfunding their welfare program. the american taxpayer i don't think should be obligated to fund terrorists. at some point it's common sense. liz wirt's common sense. -- liz: it's common sense. american taxpayers aren't retiring at 51. 51. talcum powder causing cancer. a st. louis jury awarded $6 billion to women who claim baby gav

hitting the target, u.k., estonia, greece and poland. david: what does he want?merkel know angela merkel know what president trump wants? annmarie: you can never tell what exactly the president wants. he is trying to make the point -- after this, he goes to the united kingdom and then this with president vladimir putin in helsinki. he's making a point to the world and really to germany, you are doing this deal with russia for oil and gas to go directly to germany, there's already a pipeline that goes be a ukraine the same time, at convincing us to stay with the nato when you are not even spending the 2% target. nato was founded to deter the likes of vladimir putin and eastern front. david: we are watching the 29 leaders at nato headquarters in brussels. back andtenberg came they are having a candid photo. alix: less awkward. stoltenberg and trump don't seem to like standing next to each other. president trump goes into those meetings today making clear what all 29 countries to meet their long-term commitments to spend 2% of their gdp on defense. he has a way to g

greece, u.k., estonia and poland are the only ones up to that mark.not even here yet and he's already pressing on it. it also comes on the heels of him in the past calling the group obsolete. and recently saying it was just as bad a deal as nafta. tellingnnmarie hordern us about that 2% goal. where does that number come from ? that is a level of funding for defense spending that has been long agreed to by the members of nato. it was in 2014, there was frustration about european defense spending at the time. the countries not at the 2% threshold put together a plan to get there by the middle of the next decade. president trump has been impatient with that timetable. he wants to see more countries get to 2% much more quickly. he sometimes seems to treat it as if it's a fund that countries contribute to. it's just a measure of how much defense spending may have relative to the size of their economy. likentinues to say things countries should be reimbursing the u.s. for paying more than its fair share. that is something that will be top of his agenda thro

u.k. is a nation that meets the threshold. i don't think he gives theresa may much credit for that. you have other countries like poland, other countries on the border, greece, as well, that is really meeting the president's goal, mostly because it's economy has shrunk so much the last years. in terms of its allies, he has had a good work relationship with the french president, and i expect we see him working as a mediator between trump and the rest of the nato alliance. david: you mentioned this nato meeting and the putin summit bookend the trip. what is the risk that this alliance could unraveling, particularly with ukraine and crimea, because we have sanctions specifically targeted at vladimir putin on these issues? bill: there was a question on what the president would like to get out of his meeting with in and crimea and ukraine not a big part of the worry is the meeting in europe. putin would just like to have that face-to-face with president trump to provide him some legitimacy and gives them a chance to talk about easing sanctions. there is concern president trump may start to write off the russian occupation o
