US calls on Nato to ramp up defence spending

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told nervous Nato members on Thursday that Washington remained committed to the alliance, but said they must agree to massively ramp up their defence spending for instance.

President Donald Trump has rattled Europe by casting doubt on his willingness to defend all allies, and by reaching out to Russia over the war in Ukraine — before further raising tensions with his latest tariff threats.

“Some of this hysteria and hyperbole that I see in the global media and some domestic media in the United States about Nato is unwarranted,” Rubio said on his first visit to meet his Nato counterparts in Brussels.

“President Trump’s made clear he supports Nato. We’re going to remain in Nato,” he said.
