Aside from those benefits, world shipping is patrolled/protected by the US navy. There should be a contribution for that, which permits Europe to forego that responsibility allowing them to fund generous social programs that make our leftists salivate.

Unlike Europe, we have 2 coasts facing potential enemies, and commitments to assist 2 groups of allies, and still our current military commitment is around 3%. Is President Trump planning to increase that percentage? Is that why he wants an open ended longer term clause added to the current emergency spending bill planned to be reworked in a few months?
