Obama also complained about the cheapskate EU
Yes, President Barack Obama did address the issue of NATO burden-sharing during his presidency. In a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen on May 31, 2013, Obama emphasized the need for all NATO members to contribute fairly:
> "And that requires burden-sharing on the part of all NATO members. It means that, even during times of austerity, that we work smarter together to ensure that we can meet and are prepared for any threats that may arise..."
Additionally, during a press conference on June 3, 2014, Obama highlighted the necessity for every NATO member to do its fair share:
> "That does mean that every NATO member has to do its fair share... But everyone has the capacity to do their fair share, to do a proportional amount to make sure that we have the resources, the planning, the integration, the training in order to be effective."
These statements reflect Obama's advocacy for equitable contributions among NATO allies to maintain collective defense capabilities.
