US President Donald Trump has landed in the Netherlands for his first NATO summit since 2019.

World leaders are gathering for the alliance meeting in The Hague to agree on increases in defence spending. 

The new target will be to spend 5 percent of the size of their economies, measured by GDP, on "core defence" along with defence-related areas such as security.

UK and Europe correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge Trump going to be delighted with these targets.

He says it looks like all 32 leaders are set to commit to spending the five percent.
