Original Note:
U.S. direct NATO funding is by agreement, less than 20%. But in reality the U.S. covers 65% or more. Indirect NATO funding is the 2% promise, in 2024 it is projected to collectively reach 2% for the first time in its history. However 13 members are still below 2%. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_67655.htm https://www.voanews.com/amp/nato-s-european-allies-collectively-at-2-gdp-defense-spending-for-1st-time-ever/7489447.html
