World conflicts, budget discussed at NATO summit in The Hague

Officials from NATO’s 32 member states will be gathering in the Hague Tuesday, for the alliance’s annual summit where they’ll be discussing key issues like defence spending, deterrence and what can be done, to bolster its strength.

This years summit comes at a time when the world is teetering on the edge, from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to the conflict between Iran and Israel, and the broader situation in the Middle East, there’s a lot on the line, and a hefty price tag along with it.

Trump has said he doesn’t feel as though America necessarily needs to contribute any more, unlike his NATO counterparts.
