Everything is ready for the awaited NATO summit. US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania landed last night around 21pm, aboard Air Foce One in Brussels. Shortly before landing, the American president wanders allies who do not pay the required contributions. “EU prevents us from doing business and we pay NATO. In a twitter message he wrote, several NATO countries, that we must defend, not only have they not maintained the 2% compromise (which is low), but have been in arrears for years. Will they reimburse the United States?
The American president was not received by any Belgian authority, neither Charles Michel nor King Philippe. According to the Belgian press online, Michel is in Braine-le-Comte, a town in Belgium, and the king in St. Petersburg, both busy watching the match against their French 'cousins'. Not even the foreign minister will be able to take the place of the government, because Didier Reynders is also in Russia. He was welcomed by Ambassador Françoise Gustin, head of protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
