German Defence Minister Pistorius responded to Trump's request:
π©πͺ cannot spend 5% of GDP on defense.
The federal defense minister stressed:
"This is almost every second euro that the German government spends, that is, 230 billion euros. We cannot afford it and we cannot spend this amount of money and we are currently in economic difficulties."
He added that NATO countries cannot accept this figure "unilaterally without discussion," but the need for more investment in defense is "undeniable."
