US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke during the opening ceremony for the alliance's new headquarters.
Trump stressed that "over the past eight years, the US has spent more on defense than all other NATO countries combined." “If all NATO countries last year, allocated 2 percent of GDP for defense, then we would have $ 119 billion for our common defense and funding of reserves,” he said.
Many countries continue to devote too little to common defense, less than 2 percent of GDP, US President Donald Trump said Thursday at a meeting of NATO heads of state and government in Brussels.
