But it is so completely ridiculous, it wouldn't even be considered by NATO anyway. Is the UK entitled to payments from NATO? Are we entitled to payments from the US for dragging us into Iraq under fals pretences?
He can keep up the anti-NATO rhetoric all he wants, but do not forget that the only time NATO has ever been called to the defence of an ally, it was in defence of the US.

Only 3 countries apart from the US spend what they're supposed to on defence. UK, Poland and some other country I can't remember. They should be spending more, but arguing that the US is owed that money is plain ridiculous. There is absolutely no reason that money should be given to the US by these countries, or to any of the countries such as the UK who also meet the 2% target.
Arguing that the US is providing protection for these countries and needs to be paid is the exact same justification for the mafia existing.
