Graham To NATO Members: “Pay Up Or Get Kicked Out”

“I want to have a system where if you don’t pay up you get kicked out. But no, I’m not inviting Russia to invade Ukraine. President Trump is right to want NATO nations to meet their obligation of 2 percent. We need to turn it into an obligation that means something. I’m a big fan of NATO, but there’s $70-80 billion left on the table. If you’re in NATO, pay the 2 percent. I think what’s appropriate is for everybody to meet the obligation of 2 percent.” – Sen. Lindsey Graham, today on Face The Nation.
