Nothing indicates that Americans will change the goal by 2%. According to Søreide, there was no part of the negotiations.

Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen told Dagbladet Saturday that the government has a plan to meet the goals of Wales and Wales. The government has decided that the 2% target in 2024 is a premise for the next long-term defense plan.

The charge sharing message is not new, but Trump has another way of saying something that is strange to allied Europeans and that can help polarize the debate into a not only constructive record. Therefore, I'm afraid we have to breathe.
Søreide also fears that disagreements between the United States and Europe on trade, the Iran deal, the climate deal and other issues be transmitted to the summit. 19659000] – But this can also be a constructive and good summit, says Søreide
