Karoline Leavitt, portavoz de la Casa Blanca, responde a las declaraciones de Pedro Sánchez en las que ha planteado que se haga una excepción con algunos países o que el objetivo del 5% sea "opcional". Al ser preguntada por un periodista estadounidense, Leavitt ha querido dejar clara la posición de Trump al respecto, aunque ha admitido no haber visto las declaraciones del presidente Español.
00:00As we look forward to the NATO summit next week, Spain right now is threatening not to oblige the president's request for all NATO countries to spend at least 5% of their GDP.
00:11Does the president take issue with this with Spain right now?
00:14I didn't see Spain's comments. I'll make sure the president sees them and I can assure you he wants to see all European countries pay their fair share and meet that 5% threshold.
00:23It's only fair considering the American taxpayers have given a significant chunk of money to the tune of billions of dollars to support our mutual interests and our assured defense.
00:35So I will let him speak to that, but he's made his priorities for our European allies quite clear, including Spain.
