For the military industrial complex, Trump is now proposing a 5% GDP spending on NATO countries. He had previously suggested 2% during his first term, and nobody even bothered to listen to him.

I wish. Since the start of Trump's first term, Germany's military spending has increased steadily and rose to 1.5% of GDP in 2023. In spite of strict austerity measures, Germany has also enacted loopholes to meet the 2% goal.
