Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the United States spends far more than any other country on NATO, claiming the effort yields no benefit. He cited defense spending from 2014 to 2025, listing the U.S. at $999 billion, the U.K. at $90.5 billion, France at $66.5 billion, Italy at $48.8 billion, and Poland at $44.3 billion. Trump added that other members, including Germany, spent considerably less, calling the disparity "laughable."
