Original Note:
NATO member countries self-fund their national militaries. The US does not finance non-US NATO armies. The %GDP guidance is a recommendation so that NATO countries size their militaries according to their national need. It has no impact on US spending. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/no-free-riding-here-european-defense-spending-defies-us-critics/
