President Donald Trump told leaders of the NATO alliance on Thursday that the Manchester bombing that killed 22 earlier this week demonstrates the depths of the evils of terrorism.


After leading a moment of silence at the NATO headquarters in Brussels for victims of Monday night's bombing, Trump said that attacks will continue unless steps are taken to counter terrorism strikes.


He said that the United States would never stop fighting terrorism, calling the Manchester attacks 'savage' and 'barbaric'.

'Terrorism must be stopped or ... the horror you saw in Manchester and so many other places will continue forever,' Trump said, referring to Monday's suicide bomb in the northern English city that killed 22 people, including children.


His comments came after he unveiled a memorial to the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington at the NATO headquarters.


He told NATO leaders that the unveiling is 'a day for both remembrance and resolve'.


'We will never waiver in our determination to defeat terrorism and achieve lasting security, prosperity and peace,' he said.

Trump used his first NATO summit to urge the alliance to do more to tackle immigration and Russian threats.


'The NATO of the future must include a great focus on terrorism and immigration as well as threats from Russia and NATO's eastern and southern borders,' Trump said.


He also lectured members of the NATO alliance to pay their fair share on defense during the ceremony.

 

[superbeets]

He said that members must 'finally contribute their fair share' and meet their obligations.


Trump said that 23 of the 28 member nations are not paying what they should and he says it's 'not fair' to the people of the United States.


Many of the nations, Trump said, owe 'massive' amounts of money from previous years.

Trump does, however, stand united with other NATO countries in defending all members of the Western military alliance, a senior White House official said on Thursday, despite the president making no mention of NATO's Article V in a speech.


'It's the core of the alliance,' the official said after Trump gave a speech to fellow NATO leaders in Brussels.


NATO's founding treaty states that an attack on one ally is an attack on all, but Trump questioned that in his election campaign. Article 5 has only been activated once, after 9/11.


Trump has so far refused to personally commit to abiding by Article 5, which commits allies to defend any of the 28 members that come under attack.



Press Secretary Sean Spicer, however, said that "It goes without saying" that Trump's presence at the event underscores the White House's "commitments and treaty obligations'.


US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Wednesday that "of course" the United States supports Article 5.

Thank you President Trump. We can't just accept terrorism as the new normal (like so many leftists desire).

Replying to @nktpndThis doesn't count, by the way. After months of bashing it, it had to come from Trump's mouth at the summit and it didn't.

Trump refuses to endorse NATO Article V, which has been invoked just once in the alliance's history: after 9/11. Remarkable moment.

Most absurd bit of it all? Trump *explicitly referenced* the post-9/11 Article V invocation by NATO, but *still* evaded endorsing it.

Slo-mo: Trump appears to push aside/shove another NATO leader to get to the front of the group.
