April 14, 2017 By Taegan Goddard
New York Times: Mr. Trump sometimes cloaks his evolving positions by declaring victory before retreating. For instance, he had criticized NATO for not fighting terrorism and leaving the financial burden to the United States. As he met with NATOs secretary general on Wednesday, Mr. Trump asserted that the alliance had changed.
But the alliance has hardly changed in three months. Just three more members out of 28 have committed to raise military spending to target levels by next year, and the only shift in NATOs approach to terrorism was to create a new intelligence office before Mr. Trumps inauguration.
