BRUSSELS, Feb 12 — Recent comments made by US presidential candidate Donald Trump on Nato should be a wake-up call for Nato members who haven’t invested in defence, Estonia’s prime minister Kaja Kallas told reporters today.

“I think what the presidential candidate in America said is also something to maybe wake up some of the allies who haven’t done that much”, she said.

Trump suggested the United States might not protect Nato allies who aren’t spending enough on defense from a potential Russian invasion. — Reuters
