WATCH: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte unveils what he calls the "Trump trillion" as he credits President Trump with helping push European allies to boost defense spending.
Rutte said Europe and Canada have added roughly $1.2 trillion in defense spending since Trump first entered office, while also placing hundreds of billions of dollars in orders with U.S. defense companies.
"This is your evidence," Rutte said, pointing to the numbers as he argued the alliance is moving closer to sharing the defense burden with the United States.
@liamgallagher You're welcome. You've now spanned generations, my boy and I will never forget Murrayfield, Wembley, and all the delights watching the whole tour unfold. Bring it back in 27!
@ECALive It's all very well tightening up on unqualified workers, but there has to be a solution BEFORE additional barriers are introduced. It's pathetically badly thought through.
@ECALive The more the legislation tightens around training and the amount of on-site work required to qualify, the bigger the shortage is going to continue to increase. It simply doesn't work as is. Obvs onsite is critical, but there has to be a manageable route with sufficient access.
@campbellclaret If you're seriously suggesting the current opposition aren't also utterly incapable, then you really are delusional. At least the current lot have a bit of experience in running things. Often badly, no doubt about that. Starmer has NO detailed plans whatsoever.
