the president is correct that many anyway toe countries agreed to spend more on their military budgets, but that's not the result of the nato summit this past week when president trump told them it was time to do so. our verify researchers say it stated right here in number 18 at the summit decloration back from 2014. that is when the country agreed to stop cutting military spending and to start increasing it toward 2% of their gross domestic product by 2024. also, we cannot verify that money is quote, pouring in, first of all, countries do not pay the u.s. nor do they pay nato directly. the issue that the president has is how much each nato member country spends on its own defense. so, we can verify that president trump's tweet about money from nato pouring in, is false. if you see something on your social media feeds or tv, wondering if you're fake, let
