and yet emanuel mccraw for one giuseppe conte of italy for another saying that's not the case at all. it seems that there were no specific new pledges made by nato leaders what is confusing i think is why president trump decided to raise this all over again because nato is spending targets have been. here at the summit yesterday all the other leaders thought it had all been agreed they went to a dinner where they say president trump was very cordial but he got up. first thing in brussels and it seems was still very unhappy because he was tweeting again about the amount that nato nations spend all their defense budget see came looking very stern turned up at nato half an hour late to a meeting that was supposed to be about ukraine in georgia between the nato allies and those two countries and again raised the issue of spending hinting at one point that perhaps the u.s. would pull out of the alliance it was then that nato secretary general decided to halt the greeting briefly say to you in georgia you really need to leave this because we need to have an extraordinary emergency nato sess

a let's go back live now to that nato summit in brussels the french president emmanuel mccraw is now addressing reporters there so these are live pictures coming to us from brussels. or i want to probably get to james bays joins us live now from brussels james quite an extraordinary press conference donald trump addressing every single issue in the world but we did it in saying that nato members have now committed to increase defense spending was this trump declaring a victory. yes i think we have seen trump declare a victory after trump creating a crisis in the last couple of hours a really quite serious crisis by some reports threatening that the u.s. might go its own way with regard to nato it's an issue that nato allies thought had been settled they had come up with a final communique sticking with their plan to increase creased defense spending up until twenty twenty four trumps figures in the news conference really were a little confused as they have been throughout this confusing the amount that people pay to nato is budget that's a relatively small amount with the amount that

their contacts and what they've said in the past but the french could be the key here remember emanuel mccraw was at the white house earlier this year it was a state visit one of the reasons he came here was to try and argue donald trump not to pull out of the iran deal to stay inside and what the international community to perhaps improve it the french have links with tehran if historic links with terror and they have reasonable relations as far as any country does have with the government in tehran so they may well be a key player in this and just laying the groundwork but again i'll see while there are people in this white house we'll see it's not a good idea of donald trump wants this to happen there's a good chance it will happen one interesting thing to watch will be the reaction to this donald barack obama back in two thousand and eight said yeah i'd be willing to meet with the iranian leader if it would help bring stability to the region would improve the situation around the world and he was pilloried by democrats and republicans but particularly by right wing pundits the same right

defense spending at all and indeed emanuel mccraw france saying that that is not the case. yeah i figure did we see a black and white documents saying there's a new target we have to be skeptical what seems to have emerged from this emergency situation is basically the european leaders have left try and place fear tricks and call victory and drive home the message that he's getting a better deal for america with nato. seems in fact there was no hard commitment no new target agreed by nato heads of states there were just some verbal. commitment to do better maybe down the line to consider some you possible targets but nothing hard and nothing black and white ok fabrice party a thank you very much indeed for joining us live from brussels thank you. write to donald trump is in the u.k. is on his way to the u s ambassador's official residence just a few days ago he talked about his visit to the u.k. and he talked about it as being a country in some turmoil now big protests are planned around the visit now the barber is our correspondent he's there at winfield house that's the e

yeah the same coming from president mccraw from c. says they've made no firm commitment so we've seen a pattern here i think it's pretty similar to the singapore summit on north korea where he again said it was a major breakthrough but werther actually any firm commitments i think what has come out of this nato summit is divisions in exposed as a way they've never been exposed before and question marks about the u.s. his commitment to nato where will that be welcomed well it'll be welcomed in moscow by president putin who president trump is saying in just three days time and it's worth telling you on that summit he was very positive about what he could achieve with president putin and did not mention what what he thought about crimea all right thanks for that james raiser diplomatic editor same with us here at al-jazeera lots more to come in the next hour. if only the fish we see today the weather sponsored by cattle have always. hello there it's not quite as cold as it has been for some of us in argentina now the temperatures have re
