'Unimpressed': Trump Sends EU Leaders Warning Letters Ahead of NATO Summit

Washington wants its NATO allies to increase their military spending and thus reduce the burden placed on the US.

President Donald Trump has reiterated this demand in letters sent to European leaders ahead of an upcoming NATO summit in Brussels.

"Germany has to spend more money. Spain, France. It's not fair what they've done to the United States," Trump told reporters on Friday.

Berlin, for its part, believes that it was fully on track to meet its defense spending obligations.

After meeting with her US counterpart, James Mattis, last week, the German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said that Washington was satisfied with the projected uptick in Germany’s defense outlays.

Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel was equally defensive arguing that his country “has halted the systematic fall in defense spending and takes part in a lot of military operations."

"I am not very impressed by this type of letter," Michel told reporters on the fringes an EU summit in Brussels.

With the NATO summit less than two weeks away now, the personal letters sent by President Trump to the leaders of Germany, Italy, Spain,Portugal, Luxembourg, Norway and the Netherlands may exacerbate existing tensions between the United States and its European allies, already strained after the recent G7 summit in Canada.

President Trump has repeatedly criticized its NATO allies for not doing enough to meet their commitment to spend two percent of their national GDP on defense by 2024.

European allies have been ramping up their defense spending in response to Washington’s demands.

In addition to their two percent spending commitment, they are also making progress on their agreement to spend at least 20 percent of annual defense expenditure on major new equipment by 2024.

Anon's make sure your all backed up and archived. I got hammered in an attack while the site was under stress and they shut my system down about 12 hours ago. Not sure what kind of penetration it was but is was like nothing I've seen before.

Managed to recover the drive, Just a heads up!

Stay vigilant!

These figures are wrong. I have done extensive digs on Leo Wanta it is him who made me suspect AJ was a shill for certain. This was many years ago. The money he has is in the range of 25-30 trillion, it has been hidden from the Cabal. This figures given by Trump may be less the foreign debt of the US.

When I have more time I'll find the dig and drop it for everyone!

Super fkn interesting man and story!

Hispanic Caucus Welcomes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez With Open Arms — but Maybe Not Her Entire Platform

But while many congressional districts across America are not heavily Latino like Ocasio-Cortez’s, Indivisible Political Director Maria Urbina said the party apparatus needs to be responsive to their shifting and growing base, and the CHC should be excited about embracing a young Latina who displays clarity in how she defends immigrant justice and calls for abolishing ICE.

“Ocasio-Cortez has approached this in just the right way,” Urbina said. “She’s reframing the argument, taking it out of the criminalization frame, which is the way the Republican Party scapegoats immigrants. She rejects a defensive posture, and we need candidates talking with clarity and conviction around human rights, justice, and keeping families together — which is a pillar of our values, and we should be doing that from a position of strength.”

And if Democrats aren’t ready for her brand of politics?

“If she walks into Congress and they’re not ready for her, she should look at redefining what the next generation expects from its leaders,” Urbina said.

Chuck Rocha, a senior adviser to the Sanders campaign in 2016 and founder of Solidarity Strategies, a firm that works with CHC members, said that people always ask him what was special about Sanders, and he tells them it had nothing to do with the man — it was his message.

“If you take Bernie’s message and wrap it in cultural competence and her connection and understanding of the community and drop it in Queens, that’s how you win,” he said. “So the bottom line is she’s proved what is possible. People will tell her she can’t come to Congress and enact her agenda, but they also told her she couldn’t win the election.”

Ocasio-Cortez has already had an impact. Asked by the Washington Post whether she would support Pelosi in a leadership contest next Congress, she asked if Barbara Lee, the outspoken Oakland progressive, was running. The next day, Lee said she was considering it.

In the coming weeks, CHC leadership will connect with Ocasio-Cortez, but for now they were like the Democratic leaders who had trouble getting in touch with her the day after her big win.

“We’re all excited to have her,” Gallego said. Before getting off the phone, he added: “Tell her to call us — we would love to meet with her.”

The President, Melania and Barron are joined by Ivanka, Jared, and the kids as the whole family heads to Trump’s New Jersey golf club for the weekend after tension over immigrant family separation row

The 48-year-old First Lady and President Donald Trump were joined by her mother Amalija Knavs, his daughter Ivanka, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and grandson Joseph as they walked across the South Lawn of the White House to board Marine One on Friday. Melania looked ready for summer in floral pants, while Ivanka opted for a demure white dress. The family was flown to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they boarded Air Force One for their flight to New Jersey. Upon their arrival in Morristown, New Jersey, they switched back to Marine One for their flight to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. Here all three of Ivanka and Jared's children were seen as the two eldest held hands and baby Theo was carried by his father, top left. The family getaway comes at a good time for the Trumps after the immigrant family separation scandal. Ivanka Trump in particular was frustrated by her father's policies and revealed today she was instrumental in his change of heart. Melania too became embroiled in the saga when she wore a jacket which seemed to poke fun at the plight of immigrant families.
