President Trump has long said that the U.S. is carrying too much of the burden when it comes to paying for the defense of NATO members.
As the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg arrives in Washington to meet with President Donald Trump and members of Congress, defense spending will be one of the main topics of conversation.

"NATO allies must spend more on defense. This has been the clear message from President Trump. And this message is having an impact," Stoltenberg told Congress on Wednesday. Only the U.K., Croatia, Albania and Belgium spent a higher percentage of their GDP on defense in 2014 compared to 2018, according to official NATO data.
