On Nov. 29, ahead of its leaders meeting in London, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg gave details of large increases in allied defense spending.
"Mr. Stoltenberg announced that in 2019 defense spending across European Allies and Canada increased in real terms by 4.6%, making this the fifth consecutive year of growth. He also revealed that by the end of 2020, those Allies will have invested $130 billion more since 2016. Based on the latest estimates, the accumulated increase in defense spending by the end of 2024 will be $400 billion," a NATO statement said.
"This is unprecedented progress and it is making NATO stronger," said Stoltenberg.
The NATO official also revealed more allies are meeting the guideline of spending 2% of their Gross Domestic Product on defense.
"This year, nine Allies will meet the guideline, up from only three Allies just a few years ago. The majority of Allies have plans in place to reach 2% by 2024," the NATO report said.

Trump delivers only to Putin, having gutted spending for shoring up NATO defenses against Russia, which is a truly pathetic move.

The two percent was negotiated by Obama, they are meeting the goals of the Obama time line. Also idiot trump thinks the money goes into a pot for NATO, instead they spend on their own military

The "agreement" to pay far precedes the Obama administration. It was President Trump that got them to write the check. Now let's return to honesty and credit.........

Building up their own military strength is building NATO's strength, a promise that they have
never kept before.

Wrong, they increased the spending in accordance with and on the timeline set up when Obama was in office. The Orange Anus had nothing to do with it other than spewing lies and making a fool of himself.

Did you find that in The Huffing & Puffington Post? Do you not recall that on Jul 11, 2018 · NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that he agrees with President Trump on spending issues and thinks Trump’s leadership was responsible for making other NATO countries pay more. Trump took the opportunity to blast the media for not reporting it. Evidently you never got the Truthful memo!
