3. US used to provide most of the assistance for NATO

This is Trump that is backing away from NATO commitments and requiring the European nations to increase military defense spending and I personally can't believe that other European nations are following through on Trump's demand to increase military spending to an arbitrary number which is half of a round number.

I will admit Spain is one of the European countries I'm least familiar with when it comes to their history or politics but I don't blame them for not wanting to comply with Trump's demand especially if it affects other commitments as far as spending.
