Donald Trump now backs NATO



After months of criticism, US president says the global military alliance is no longer 'obsolete'.



President Donald Trump has not been in the White House for 100 days, but he has already done an apparent U-turn on a number of his key campaign promises.
As a candidate Trump dismissed NATO as "obsolete", saying the post-World War II military alliance was not focused on combating the growing threat from "terrorism".
And he complained too many members were not paying their fair share towards defence.
But after a meeting with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Trump struck an entirely different tone.
