Really? Trump is still waiting for them to put in their 2% defense budget instead of playing us for chumps. Do they or do they not give their workers 30 days off per year which we end up paying for while our workers get 2 weeks?

Germany is hitting the 2% mark this year.

“News of Germany hitting the 2% spending target came as NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg praised an “unprecedented” 11% increase in defense spending in the 31-nation alliance.

“This year I expect 18 allies to spend 2% of their GDP on defense. That is another record number,” Stoltenberg said during a pre-ministerial press conference in Brussels.

He said this represented a six-fold increase from 2014 when only three allies met the target.”
