US President-elect Donald Trump is demanding NATO allies spend at least 5% of their GDP on defence, up from the current 2% target.
In a lengthy and rambling press conference on Tuesday, he also refused to rule out using military force to assume control of the Panama Canal and Greenland — claiming the United States "needs them" for "national security purposes" — and he threatened to use "economic force" to annex Canada to make it a 51st state of America.
