During a virtual address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Donald Trump reiterated his call for all NATO member countries to increase their defense spending to 5% of their GDP. Trump emphasized the importance of restoring strength, peace, and stability abroad, stating that this move is part of the effort to bring back common sense in America.
Trump highlighted that most NATO nations were only spending 2% of their GDP on defense, a figure he deemed insufficient. He claimed credit for pressuring these nations to increase their defense budgets, asserting that the United States had been shouldering the financial burden for too long.
