"Our equipment is so much better than anybody else’s equipment. When you look at our companies, @LockheedMartin and @Boeing, the equipment that we make is so far superior. Everybody wants to buy our equipment."
Am not sure @Airbus or @BAESystemsInc would agree... 2/2

Offering an idea of what @NATO allies could spend their growing defence budgets on, @realDonaldTrump says:
"The United States makes by far the best military equipment in the world. The best jets, the best missiles, the best guns, the best everything. 1/2

OK so defence spending commitment secured by @realDonaldTrump at @NATO summit appears to be for allies to go from having national plans to lift spending (move towards 2% of GDP by 2024) to having "credible" national plans to increase expenditure, @jensstoltenberg signals
Hmmmmmm

You have to respect @jensstoltenberg. It is amazing how he can continue to be upbeat and positive about the unscripted chaos that was his @NATO summit. Helping to keep the show on the road...

BREAK: @jensstoltenberg - asked about @realDonaldTrump threat to allies to hit 2% or US will "do our own thing"- says this has created a "new sense of urgency" among @NATO allies to increase defence spending.
"We had a very frank and open discussion on burden sharing," he says

Jens Stoltenber [clearly in convince-@realDonaldTrump-Nato-is-relevant mode] says: "@NATO is a force multiplier for the United States. Despite our differences we are doing more together for our security"

BREAK - @Nato allies aside from United States have added $41 billion to their collective defence budgets since @realDonaldTrump came to office, @jensstoltenberg says, attributing urgency to increase spending to Mr Trump's pressure

NOW: @jensstoltenberg gives end of summit briefing - he says it has been a very good session. There were "frank" discussions on burden sharing.
"That is what we do among friends and allies. All allies have heard President Trump's message loud and clear"

UPDATE: @realDonaldTrump says @nato allies have pledged to meet 2% of GDP defence spending target within "a very short number of years". So he appears to have been persuaded NATO is worth sticking with, for now, despite January US "do our own thing" threat made at crisis meeting

I asked my source what the reaction was of the 28 other @nato heads of state and government, the source said: "Total stunned silence and then utter panic" 3/3

This is what I am told @realDonaldTrump told @nato allies: “2% is a joke. 4% is what people should be spending. We are being played for fools. Every single US president has been pushing the point of extra spending since Reagan & they have all been played I am not going to be” 1/3

BREAK: This is from a single, good source: @realDonaldTrump told @Nato allies this morning that unless wealthiest economies (read Germany, France, Spain, Italy) hit 2% GDP target by January “we are going to do our own thing”
If this is confirmed then it is extraordinary threat

Just had a phone call from a @10DowningStreet spokesman insisting that there was never a plan for @theresa_may to give a press conference at @NATO summit. The fact the timing and location for this phantom presser is on the running order is "obviously a mistake" by Nato

Looks like no one told @nato that @theresa_may - perhaps after failing to come to summit armed with funded plan for @DefenceHQ or maybe because of #Brexit chaos - has decided not to hold a press conference & will be en route back to the UK.

BREAK: @jensstoltenberg says @NATO spending target remains 2% even though @realDonaldTrump demanded it be doubled to 4%. "Let's start with that (2%)," Nato chief says. "We have a way to go"

A footnote on the graphic says that the other 3 countries that are supposed to hit the 2% this year (Poland, Lithuania & Romania) are still expected to do this, it is just not yet reflected in the figures...
