In this episode of DW's Podcast Berlin Briefing, host Nina Haase speaks with guest Emily Haber about the state of German-US relations, which leads to the question: Is Germany not grateful enough to the United States? #DWGermanpolitics

Naja. Trump sagt ja, dass das invest 2026 okay ist. Aber wenn wir uns die letzten 20 Jahre anschauen müssen wir ehrlich zugeben, dass wir nicht investiert haben. Sonst wäre die Bundeswehr in einem anderen Zustand

Germany should commit nothing to NATO because NATO is hostile to Germans.

The United States remains the largest overall contributor to NATO's military capacity, spending an estimated $980 billion annually. Major European contributors include Germany (approx. $93.7 billion, that’s less than 10% of what the US is contributing), the United Kingdom (approx. $90.5 billion), and France (approx. $66.5 billion). Poland leads the alliance, directing over 4% of its GDP toward defense. And Norway leads the alliance in per-person spending, investing over $3,026 per capita, surpassing the United States' per capita spending.
