  As tributes to Nato's collective action—made from fragments of the Berlin Wall and the twin tower—were unveiled, Trump mentioned the article 5 commitment of member states to act as one when attacked. However, he largely focused on letting the leaders, and Nato's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, know of his determination to make them pay.

  Trump, who said the attack in Manchester illustrated the need for greater cooperation on fighting terrorism, also appeared to demand that states who had so far failed to reach 2% of GDP funding threshold, make additional reparations in the coming years.

  The European council president, Donald Tusk, a former prime minister of Poland, added: “My main message to President Trump was that what gives our cooperation and friendship its deepest meaning are fundamental western values, like freedom, human rights and the respect for human dignity. The greatest task today is the consideration of the whole free world around those values, and not just interest—this is what we, Europe and America, should be saying.”
