美國總統特朗普周三(12月4日)出席完在英國倫敦舉行的北約峰會後,無按原定計劃舉行記者會。
特朗普於社交網站解釋,過去兩日已接受過很多訪問,他又透露先後與土耳其及德國領袖會面,在會見丹麥及意大利領袖後,便會啟程返華盛頓。
特朗普指北約在過去3年間取得巨大進展,美國以外的成員國已承諾每年多付1300億美元,到2024年更會增加至4000億美元,北約將變得更富有和強大。

Great progress has been made by NATO over the last three years. Countries other than the U.S. have agreed to pay 130 Billion Dollars more per year, and by 2024, that number will be 400 Billion Dollars. NATO will be richer and stronger than ever before....

....When today’s meetings are over, I will be heading back to Washington. We won’t be doing a press conference at the close of NATO because we did so many over the past two days. Safe travels to all!
