BRUSSELS — U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis warned allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that they need to adopt plans to raise their military spending or risk seeing America “moderate its commitment to the alliance.”
His speech, to a gathering of defense ministers on Wednesday, was a stark reminder of President Donald Trump’s threat during the presidential campaign that U.S. support for allies could be conditional on countries contributing their fair share.
Mattis warns that NATO allies need to pull their weight
