They were not there for us!!!\u201d he wrote, sharing a graph. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the U.S. does indeed contribute more money on defense, largely because of the size of its military and global commitments, Trump\u2019s graph appears to conflate member states\u2019 total defense budgets with their direct contributions to NATO.<\/p>\n<p>NATO defines defense expenditure as payments made by a national government specifically to meet the needs of its armed forces, those of Allies, or of the Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Under pressure from Trump last year, members agreed to target defense spending of 5 percent of Gross Domestic Product. That target refers to each country\u2019s own military spending\u2014not payments into NATO\u2019s common budgets, which total only a few billion dollars annually.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump\u2019s graph states that the U.S. contributes $999 billion. This appears to be the amount he requested for U.S. defense in 2026 under his One Big Beautiful Bill Act. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2755\">Kaitlan Collins Savages Trump\u2019s Flop Fair After Seeing It for Herself<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second-largest contributor, per Trump\u2019s graph, is the United Kingdom, with $90.5 billion. That is roughly its defense budget, not its NATO contribution. <\/p>\n<p>The same applies to France, Italy, and Poland. The chart compares what each nation spends on its own military, not what it pays directly to NATO, meaning the figures cannot be used to show how much each ally contributes to the alliance\u2019s shared budget.<\/p>\n<p>His complaint comes just days before NATO heads of state and government, as well as key partners, convene in Turkey for a summit. <\/p>\n<p>In May, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the meeting in Ankara, the Turkish capital, could be tense because of Trump\u2019s feelings. \u201cThe president\u2019s views\u2014frankly, disappointment\u2014at some of our NATO allies and their response to our operations in the Middle East, they are well documented,\u201d Rubio said. \u201cThat will have to be addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump, meanwhile, shared the same disinformation earlier on Thursday. At around 9 a.m. ET, he said, \u201cThe United States spends more money on NATO than any other country, by far, to protect them, without getting any benefit from so doing: U.S. 999 Billion Dollars, United Kingdom, 90.5 Billion Dollars, France, 66.5 Billion Dollars, Italy, 48.8 Billion Dollars, Poland, 44.3 Billion Dollars. Others, including Germany, are MUCH LOWER. (2014-2025) Ridiculous!\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
