President Donald Trump<\/a> targeted the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), venting frustration about the alliance in Thursday social media posts.<\/p>\n

“The 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!” the president asserted in a Thursday morning Truth Social post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A NATO release<\/a>, which explains that the “cut-off date for information used in this report was 3 June 2025” and that “figures for 2024 and 2025 are estimates,” listed the estimated 2025 U.S. defense expenditure as $980 billion, the United Kingdom’s as $90.508 billion, France as $66.531 billion, Italy as $48.8 billion, and Poland as $44.314 billion.<\/p>\n

America’s commander in chief also called out NATO<\/a> in a post on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

“Ridiculous for the U.S.A. to continue along this one sided path when the relationship is not reciprocal. They were not there for us!!!” Trump exclaimed in the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The president’s vocal complaints about NATO came ahead of the alliance’s upcoming summit in Ankara, Turkey<\/a>, next week. Trump is scheduled to attend.<\/p>\n

“Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!” Trump asserted in a mid-April Truth Social post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
