Stoltenberg and Trump hold press conference before NATO Summit

The transcript discusses a negotiation process where a country was initially paying less than $500 million annually for military support, which was deemed unfair given the costs involved. Through negotiations, the payment was increased by $500 million, bringing it closer to $1 billion. Despite this increase, the payment still falls short of covering the full costs.
