"They should meet the goal that they agreed to," he replied.
"I think President Trump made that a priority," Pompeo said on the burden sharing issue. "I think many of the NATO allies have in turn made it a priority for their countries as well. I applaud that. I am thrilled with that. But the goal remains clear."
Friday's gathering of foreign ministers marked the last major meeting to be held in the NATO headquarters in Brussels, as the defense organization prepares to move to a new building after more than 50 years in the current one.
"The next time foreign ministers gather will be for the Summit at our brand new headquarters across the road," Stoltenberg said during a brief closing ceremony. "Our move signals that NATO continues to evolve as the world changes," he continued.
Accordingly, Friday's session continued with longstanding operations, dealing with NATO's support for Afghanistan, preparations for the new NATO training mission in Iraq, and working with the European Union to promote stability among Europe's southern neighbors.
Conflict in Syria, tensions with Russia, and the continued development of anti-terrorism capabilities were also discussed, as the foreign ministers lay the ground of July's summit.
