一名资深民主党参议员在接受CBS新闻采访时承认,他认为唐纳德·特朗普总统“明智地”对北约盟友提出了增加国防开支的关键要求。

伊利诺伊州民主党参议员迪克·德宾本周正随两党国会代表团访问土耳其,出席北约相关活动。当主持人笑着问及特朗普“在推动盟友增加安全开支方面与北约的奇怪关系”时,他接受了CBS新闻的采访。主持人问德宾:“这段关系接下来会走向何方?”

作为回应,德宾将特朗普与北约的关系描述为一种“反反复复、爱恨交织的关系”。他接着表示:“我认为,总统明智地要求我们的北约盟友——北约共有32个成员国——拿出更多本国资金用于自身防御。”

“这并非不合理的要求,”他补充道。

德宾已在参议院任职近30年,现任民主党党鞭及颇具影响力的司法委员会资深成员。他随由新罕布什尔州民主党参议员珍妮·沙欣率领的国会代表团,正在土耳其首都安卡拉出席2026年北约峰会。特朗普也将出席此次峰会,随行的还有国务卿马可·卢比奥、国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯以及国家安全顾问迈克尔·瓦尔茨。

德宾并未全程赞扬总统。他在安卡拉发表讲话时还表示,“在他的第二任期内发生的一些事情引发了人们对我们未来对北约承诺的质疑。”

“我相信北约;这也是我此行的原因。我发现,来自北约各地区的与会代表们都和我一样认为,北约联盟让我们的世界更安全。自1945年以来就是如此。”

他补充道,此次峰会“将成为一个契机,如果有必要的话,我们可以借此说服总统,推动美北约关系向前发展。”

在前往土耳其出席峰会之前,特朗普曾在社交媒体发文宣泄对北约的不满,写道:“美国在北约的开支远超其他任何国家,显然是在保护他们,却没有从中获得任何好处:美国9990亿美元,英国905亿美元,法国665亿美元,意大利488亿美元,波兰443亿美元。包括德国在内的其他国家则低得多。(2014-2025年)太荒谬了!”

北约的一份声明显示,“本报告所用信息的截止日期为2025年6月3日”,“2024年和2025年的数据为估算值”。声明列出的2025年估算国防开支分别为:美国9800亿美元、英国905.08亿美元、法国665.31亿美元、意大利488亿美元、波兰443.14亿美元。

在另一条帖子中,特朗普表示,“当美北约关系不对等时,美国继续沿着这条单边道路前行是荒谬的。他们当时并没有站在我们这边!!!”

总统发表此番言论之前,北约各国领导人已批准新的国防开支基准,呼吁盟友将国内生产总值的5%用于国防及相关防务支出。

A top Democratic senator admitted on CBS News that he believes President Donald Trump “wisely” made the critical demand to NATO allies to spend more on defense.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who is in Turkey this week as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation to NATO, spoke with CBS News when an anchor laughingly asked him about Trump’s “strange relationship with NATO over his push for them to spend more on security.” The anchor asked Durbin, “Where does this relationship go from here?”

In response, Durbin described Trump’s relationship with NATO as a “back-and-forth, love-and-hate relationship.” He went on to say that “the president has, I think, wisely asked for our NATO allies, there are 32 members of NATO, to spend more of their own money to protect themselves.”

“That’s not an unreasonable ask,” he added.

Durbin, who has served in the Senate for nearly 30 years, is the minority whip and ranking member of the influential Judiciary Committee. He is in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, as part of a congressional delegation led by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., to the 2026 NATO Summit. Trump is also attending the summit, accompanied by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz.

Durbin did not spend all his time praising the president. Speaking from Ankara, he went on to say that “there have been things that happened during his second presidency which raised the question of our commitment to the future of NATO.”

“I believe in it; that’s why I’m here. And I’ve found that of the delegates that are here from all over the region, part of NATO, that they believe, as I do, that we’re a safer world with the NATO alliance. We have been since 1945.”

TRUMP BETS ON FORMER NATO TROUBLEMAKER AS TURKEY’S STRATEGIC VALUE SURGES

He added that the summit “will be an opportunity for us to convince the president, if we have to, to move forward with this relationship.”

Before traveling to Turkey for the summit, Trump vented his frustration about NATO, writing in a social media post that “the United States spends more money on NATO than any other country, by far, to protect them, without getting any benefit from so doing: U.S. 999 Billion Dollars, United Kingdom, 90.5 Billion Dollars, France, 66.5 Billion Dollars, Italy, 48.8 Billion Dollars, Poland, 44.3 Billion Dollars. Others, including Germany, are MUCH LOWER. (2014-2025) Ridiculous!”

A NATO release stated that the “cut-off date for information used in this report was 3 June 2025” and that “figures for 2024 and 2025 are estimates.” It listed estimated 2025 U.S. defense spending at $980 billion, the United Kingdom’s at $90.508 billion, France’s at $66.531 billion, Italy’s at $48.8 billion and Poland’s at $44.314 billion.

In another post, Trump said it is “ridiculous for the U.S.A. to continue along this one sided path when the relationship is not reciprocal. They were not there for us!!!”

The president’s comments came after NATO leaders backed a new defense spending benchmark calling on allies to invest 5% of gross domestic product in defense and defense-related expenditures.
