I can assure you, we also have national needs, but we prioritize defense and expect our partners to do the same.
Marco Rubio US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that this demand from the US is categorical.He also assured that the new requirements for defense spending apply not only to European states, but also to the United States itself.

And that includes the United States, which needs to increase its share, because the threats are really that serious.
