"NATO's Defense Spending: Unpacking Trump's Criticism and America's Role"

Former President Trump's recent comments about NATO member defense spending have sparked controversy, with President Biden and NATO's leader criticizing his remarks. NATO allies voluntarily contribute troops and funding, with a 2014 agreement requiring at least 2% of GDP to be spent on defense. Most NATO countries are expected to meet this guideline in 2024, with the U.S. contributing the largest share of defense spending.
