"Trump Holds Private Meeting with Polish President to Discuss NATO Defense Spending"

Former President Donald Trump and Polish President Andrzej Duda discussed the proposal for NATO countries to increase their defense spending to 3% of GDP during a dinner meeting at Trump Tower. Duda reiterated the proposal to President Joe Biden, citing the need for a higher spending requirement in response to the conflict with Russia. The two leaders also discussed the war between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Trump being critical of NATO defense spending and alarming many leaders in Washington and Europe with his previous comments on the matter. European diplomats are reportedly preparing for Trump's potential return to the White House, working to set up guardrails for NATO and ensure lasting support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
