BERLIN - Germany will meet the obligation it has made to NATO allies to spend 1.5 percent of economic output on defense by 2024, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Thursday. “The 1.5 percent target by 2024 is an obligation to NATO ... I guarantee and the German government guarantees that we will meet that obligation. And that will require effort,” Merkel told the lower house of parliament.
Trump was clear about 2%for NATO. Is Germany trying to switch more towards their gas suplying masters in Kremlin?
I think it’s time for the U.S. to withdraw to the UK.
So as usual Germany won't be meeting its NATO obligation, and as usual Germany will insist its the EU that's kept the peace. Ok got it!!
Congratulations Mrs merkel but four years ago, NATO allies promised to “to spend a minimum of 2 percent of each member’s Gross Domestic Product on defense by 2024' It was to reverse declining defense budgets & to balance sharing of costs & responsibilities, another 1/2 % please.!
Why defend a bunch of losers who don’t want to defend themselves? “USoutofGermany
Translation: Germany won't be meeting NATO stadards for years to come.
Germany taking advantage of every nato member, kick them out of nato they are a disgrace.
The US is more than $22,000,000,000,000 in debt, and more than 6000 soldiers have committed suicide since 2008. I don’t read about those stats much in the German press...
Takes lot of spaetzle to a achieve that look. 🇩🇪
GEE THANKS, O' MERKEL
Still low
lol? The obligation is for 2%
Lies, like always.
so she can spend money for idiot demands from america but she can't spend money on german citizens end austerity now
The NATO target is 2%.
