5 % of GDP to defense, NATO pushes spending!
Trump
Officially it is NATO that is pushing all NATO members to spend 5 % of the Gross Domestic Product into defence in the future. But in reality it is Donald Trump that is demanding this.
When it comes to spending on defence, the USA has always spent more than the other NATO countries. That’s a fact, so Trump has a point. But his reasoning for it is not because the world needs extra defences. USA, UK and France together can take up almost the entire world. The real reason is economically. Trump wants the NATO members to buy weapons and airplanes from the USA. So the domestic economy of the USA gets another push!
Nothing is what it seems, especially when it comes to international politics!

What can we say, smart move by Trump, he's got them all wrapped under his little finger😹; following his every directive to the letter. It's your way or the highway when you got all the money :}
