Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance was on the "right track" on defence spending and investment after members of the US-led alliance were criticised by former president Donald Trump who accused them of not meeting their spending commitments. Stoltenberg said: "I expect 18 allies to spend 2% of the GDP on defence this year, a sixfold increase from only three allies in 2014. In 2024, Nato allies in Europe will invest a total of $380bn in defence" Donald Trump again threatens to sacrifice Nato allies to Russia
