It is also ready to launch 2030 as the deadline for increasing the defense expenditure to 2.5%, in accordance with NATO,.
Trump has accused European leaders of not doing enough to support Ukraine, so far that he attacks a starter himself.

In recent weeks, Trump has taken a major role in conversations with Russia that many allies have said far too strongly in favor of Vladimir Putin.
Even before he sat down with Putin in Saudi Aarabia, Trump has generous concessions on NATO and Ukrainian territory before the conversations even started.
He also said that he would like to see Russia on the G7 forum, where it was kicked out in 2014 in response to the aggressive annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
