Amid the controversy over Donald Trump's demand that NATO nations meet their financial obligations before they expect the United States to defend them, NATO's top commander says he agrees it's important for alliance members to pay their bills.
In an interview at the Aspen Security Forum, Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti said it's something he regularly discusses with other countries.

Once again Trump shows true leadership.
and a US general shows that he still has a pair.
Much better than Obama’s “lead from behind” policy (most people call that “following”).
NATO is outdated. We fought the cold war to prevent Communism from taking over the world, not to allow European deadbeats to neglect their own defense while surrendering to Islam.
I want them to meet their 2% defense INVESTMENT obligation so we can bring our stuff and our men home.
Fyi - NATO falling apart. Incirlik under full blockade tonight. 5,000 Turkish police and numerous blockading trucks.
I’m trying to think of ONE reason why we need to spend ANY money to defend Europe from Russia when they’re letting in a Trojan horse of Muslim invaders.
Sheer demographics/birth rates will put Europe in control of Muslims in 25 years. In control of France’s Nukes too.
At this point, the UK is the only country worth saving.
Strategically, we need to align with Russia NOW against a future Muslim Europe.
Probably the best thing that could happen to Europe is if Russia takes over. Only Putin will have the chutzpa to stifle the Euro-PC establishment that allows anti-western invaders in.
WITHDRAW ALL US FORCES FROM GERMANY NOW! It’s over for Germany anyway.
Agree with all of your points.
Yes, and I’ll make another prediction that PUTIN/TRUMP will be the last standing “leaders” of Western Civilization in about 5-10 years.
For all Putin’s bad characteristics (communism, thuggery), he’s still far better than a world run by Muslim Theocracy.
Europe is toast. The sooner people realize that, the better.
I agree with that(ifTrump wins)
I believe they would be a very formidable team against what the world is facing.
I’m not a Putinista by any means but would rather live in his world than the islamic one that is being formed right before our eyes.
Yeah, me neither (not a Putinista).
But I’m realizing that living under Putin’s communism (but Western society) would be SOOOO much better than living in a Muzzie Theocracy with burkas, prayer mats, honor killings.
That really underscores how bad it would be to be a Muzzie.
I agree.
It’s spreading so fast it’s frightening.
Europe has a choice. Europe conquered by the Muslims or the Russians? I would rather be ruled under Putin. He would let me drink vodka.
I hope that he’s getting his resume squared away. Won’t be surprised if someone finds some compromising stuff on his computer or a mistress, that’ll force him out within the next couple of weeks.
As for his comments, once again, one Mr Donald Trump appears to be right.
