So many lies in this post.

Obama started the path for NATO countries to expand their military budgets to a minimum of their national budget, not Trump.
Trump implies there is some sort of NATO bank that money "pours" into. That isn't how it works.
Yes, other presidents did something about those "delinquiencies" including his predecessor.
The Secretary General never made any such statement and has publicly said so.
The US is not paying the most money to support Ukraine.
Biden didn't need to ask, because the other countries ARE paying more and giving more in arms and other support.

Since the war began, the U.S. Congress has voted through five bills that have provided Ukraine with ongoing aid, doing so most recently in April 2024. The total budget authority under these bills—the “headline” figure often cited by news media—is $175 billion.

pp, you claimed Trump was telling “so many lies,” and then claimed the United States is not paying to most money to support Ukraine.

All available data shows we are paying Ukraine the most money.

Trump is correct and you are lying.[/quote]

That it was tied to GDP was not Obama's doing or Biden's doing.  Trump CLAIMED he wanted to get other countries to pay more yet he completely failed at that.  By the end of his term only 10 countries were meeting the goal 2% GDP.  That more than doubled under Biden.

Trump's real aim is to withdraw from NATO.  Complaining about other countries not paying in was only his excuse for doing so.[/quote]
