President Klaus Iohannis stated, on Friday, that he liked the statement made by his US counterpart, Donald Trump, regarding burden sharing in NATO, arguing that the alliance is the strongest on Earth and it must be kept as such, responding to a question regarding Donald Trump's request for NATO members to contribute more.
"I was in Brussels, and I met President Trump, and I listened to his speech, and I liked it. Because, you see, NATO is based on values but it is ultimately a military alliance, and, you know, military spending is complicated and you need a lot of money. Because NATO is the strongest alliance the Earth ever saw and we want to keep it that way, so we have to spend money for defence purposes (...) if you're in an alliance, everybody has to spend money, this is called burden sharing, and I fully agree, Mr. President to that. Some people liked this better, and some didn't like it so much, but it's a simple fact that we need to do this not as a purpose in itself, but we have to do this to stay strong, to be strong and to defend our nations," said the Romanian head of state at the press conference held together with his US counterpart, Donald Trump.
