Europe must spend 'a lot more' on defense, NATO chief says

NATO countries in Europe need to invest "considerably more" on defense, alliance chief Mark Rutte said Wednesday, as the new U.S. defense secretary arrived to push Donald Trump's demands to up spending.

"We need to do a lot more so we have what we need to deter and defend. And so that there is more equitable burden sharing," Rutte said.
