Trump cites tremendous unity at NATO summit, progress on defense spending



ANKARA, July 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday told reporters there had been "tremendous unity" at the NATO summit in Turkey and also promised to increase U.S. defense production.

"They (European nations) want the American equipment, because it works better," Trump told a press conference.

"I provided other leaders with an update on the steps we're taking to rapidly scale up production in the United States. And they wanted to hear that, because they don't really want to get it in four years, five years, they want to get it like in a week."
