President Trump Delivers Remarks to the Department of War

Published | Video Starts at 57:41

We'd given everything To Ukraine. We had nothing. And by the way, I have to tell you now, as you know, I went over and I met with NATO, and NATO raised from 2 to 5, which everyone said 5% of GDP, millions. And now trillions of dollars are pouring in. They didn't pay the 2% because they knew we were there to pay it. And now they paid the 5%. That's trillions of dollars. And we're not spending any money on that war. (57:41–57:50)
