At a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, President Trump announced NATO is "no longer obsolete."



Trump made getting rid of NATO a cornerstone of his presidential campaign. In January, Trump reaffirmed his view that NATO is obsolete.



"The Secretary General and I had a productive discussion about what more NATO can do in the fight against terrorism. I complained about that and now they fight terrorism. I said it was obsolete. It's no longer obsolete," Trump said Wednesday.



Trump also pledged to take an increased role in supporting Iraqi in the battle against ISIS.



Previously, Trump had said, "NATO's not meant for terrorism. NATO doesn't have the right countries in it for terrorism."
