Europe's defense spending nears $300 billion as experts say Trump's pressure is paying off

Assembling a T-72B3 battle tank at the Uralvagonzavod factory, a Rostec subsidiary, developing and producing military hardware.European defense spending will surpass $300 billion a year by 2021, according to new research from Jane's by IHS Markit.

At a NATO summit in 2017, Trump ramped up that pressure by noting the U.S. had allocated more cash to defense than all the other NATO countries combined. "Political factors are continuing to present a key driver as Europe responds to pressure from NATO allies — primarily the U.S. — to increase defense spending," said McGerty.

The analysis suggests that in 2019, European defense spending as a whole will grow by almost 5% from the previous year.

Strange how people are now being accountable. Wonder why.

Now THAT looks like a force to be reckoned with. 🤦🏻‍♀️ A match for this?

Love it. Socialists pay for the good of their country.

Pressure? Or because they now know that the US is an unreliable ally with Trump at the helm.

'Trump's making Russia stronger by encouraging Europe to spend MORE on defense.' -Illogical Dem voter
