UK Defence Secretary says Europe will 'thank' Trump for forcing NATO to spend more on defence

UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting says Europe will eventually thank US President Donald Trump for forcing NATO allies to spend more on defence.

Streeting argued Trump's pressure prompted a long-overdue shift towards greater military self-reliance in Europe.

In his first major TV interview, Streeting dismissed suggestions that rebuilding UK-US ties requires 'sucking up' to Trump.
