Stepping up to ensure our forces are postured for America's global needs and stepping up to make sure that our access, basing and overflight are clearly delineated and assured. Any other country would do the same. At the same time going forward. Our annual NATO dues will be contingent on other countries meeting their defense spending targets. Where other allies do not spend with urgency, our dues contributions will go down. NATO will be a two way street. It's only common sense. (26:57–27:05)
