The Untied States feels that by other countries not spending 2%, we have to fill that gap.
In other words, why should Germany or France or any country in NATO spend 2% of the GDP on their military when the US will bail us out?
Having a strong NATO is in the best interest of NATO. Have a strong US and every other country in NATO weak make NATO and the US weak.
But we probably don't spend 2% of our GDP on defense in NATO countries.
