โก๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช NEW - Germany's Chancellor Merz admits:
Trump often applies pressure through a very forceful approach.
The last American presidents politely asked us, "Please, finally do a little more for your own defense," but across Europe those requests largely fell on deaf ears.
Now there is an American president who says, rather bluntly, "Enough is enough."
And I cannot blame him. Just look at the numbers: the United States spends around 80 percent of NATO's defense resources, while Europe accounts for only about 20 percent.
That is unacceptable. It has always been unacceptable.
