I assume you're referring to Trump not being happy with NATO members freeloading on USA. Estonia spends >2% GDP on military [1] as the NATO guidelines say. Thus, at least in regards of Estonia, Trump should be satisfied.

[1] US, Greece, UK, Estonia, Poland are the only NATO members who pay at least 2% GDP in 2016. http://www.nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/pdf_2016_0...

As a European I believe that massive investments into defense are necessary. I hope that we start pulling our weight in NATO now.
