President Trump is currently in the Netherlands for the yearly North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit, and getting his European allies to increase defense spending is at the top of his agenda.

Fox News reported yesterday on what the summit had in store:

It’s Trump’s first NATO summit since becoming president for a second term. In the past, he’s railed against NATO members for “freeloading” off U.S. military protection. This time, European allies are eager to prove him wrong.

NATO reached an agreement for all nations to boost their defense spending to five percent of their gross domestic product, except Spain.

Trump initially made the demand, which is expected to be finalized at the summit.

The nations have seemed to agree with the President’s demands. Spain, however, has proven to be a thorn in his side, with its prime minister outright stating it won’t happen.

Spain complicated the consensus when Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez demanded an exemption from the new spending target – which would be a sharp increase from the 2 percent target Spain has had trouble meeting.

“We fully respect the legitimate desire of other countries to increase their defence investment, but we are not going to do it,” Sanchez said.

While President Trump’s demands on spending have dominated headlines, they are not the only topic of discussion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is also at the summit, continuing his push for admission into NATO. The Middle East, meanwhile, has also become a topic of concern.

We prayed ahead of this meeting during our Global Day of Prayer for Peace webinar on Saturday. As the summit continues, let’s pray for the nations of NATO to to unified in the pursuit of peace, and let’s pray for favor for our nation and our President!
