President Trump should “crack the whip” and make Nato a subscription-based organisation, Ben Wallace, a former defence secretary, has said.
Wallace, who was once tipped for Nato secretary-general, said allies should only be allowed membership if by 2030 they were spending 3.5 per cent of national income on defence.
Writing in The Times before Nato’s summit in The Hague this week, he said: “No subscription — no membership. No 3.5 per cent of GDP by 2030 — no protection from Uncle Sam.”
