Yaani Trump doesn't hold anything back! This is not global leadership but cry babying. These things should be said in private discussions not to the media like in Kenya when you want to divert people's attention from the real pictures.

The era of leaders shaking hands and smiling for the cameras are long gone. Its the era of stating the facts and getting things done. The era of speaking the inconvenient truth. The era of laying all the cards on the table and coming up with solutions.

25th April 2016. Barack Obama has accused Europe of being “complacent” about defence by failing to meet the Nato two per cent spending target.

In an address in Hanover, the US President said that Nato must spend more to address the crises in Syria and north Africa and to invest in new missile defence and cyber systems.

Mr Obama warned that states are failing to pay their “full share” of spending two per cent of GDP on the military. “I’ll be honest, sometimes Europe has been complacent about its own defence,” he said.

It follows remarks last month in which Mr Obama said European states are “free riders” by demanding the US act in North Africa without putting any “skin in the game”.

In Europe, the share of domestic spending on the military has fallen six years running, to an average of 1.4 per cent.

The US spends 3.6 per cent, while the UK spends just above two per cent. At the bottom of the table are Luxembourg (0.47 per cent), Hungary (0.85 per cent) and Spain (0.89 per cent).
