Trump complains about low NATO spending – and is absolutely right. A third of NATO members will not meet the two percent target in 2024 either.

Trump's return to the White House would probably lead to higher defense spending by the European NATO states. Instead of condemning Trump's statements, it is better for European members to fulfill their obligations to NATO. If you stop paying the fees, you would expect your access to be cut off; European defense should be treated with as much seriousness as American defense.
