Plans
There were many different plans from different countries on what they wanted to speak about with the other members, with leaders from Southern Europe being worried about the security of North Africa and the Middle East, as well as being worried about the European migrant crisis. However, Eastern European member nation governments were more worried about Russia's policies towards them. President of the United States Donald Trump heavily asked all NATO members meet an agreement made in 2014 that said the countries in NATO should spend at least two percent of their GDP on defense.[1]
