USA - President Donald Trump heads this week to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit as American allies come to grips with the vast impact his foreign policy has already achieved from Iran's nuclear ambitions to the future of funding for European security. The summit, which will take place in The Hague, Netherlands, will provide a platform for Trump to push for his proposed requirement that NATO's 32 member states reach 5% gross domestic product (GDP) spending on defense.
But there is one exception: the United States. Even though he departed from this month's G7 summit early due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, Trump appears to have bold priorities for his in-person appearance with other NATO leaders.
Trump told reporters Friday night that he believes the United States has floated NATO for long enough. “I don’t think we should, but I think they should,” Trump said about raising defense spending to 5%. “We’ve been supporting NATO so long. So I don’t think we should, but I think that the NATO countries should, absolutely."
Notably, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement: "Congratulations, President Trump. Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history... History will record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons."
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated simply, "Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon," noting that the situation in the Middle East remains volatile and urged negotiations.
“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”
The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
