Trump Reportedly Handed Merkel a $374 Billion Invoice for NATO.

Reported by you doesn't hold water.
Any valid news sources reporting this?

Have you already forgot to post links?
No beggin' strips 4u. :mad:
 

From CNBC:
Michael Short, a White House spokesperson told CNBC that the report was "false."

From The Hill:
A spokesman for the German government also denied the claim on Monday.

He should send most of the NATO members a bill in my opinion. We pay NATO the equivalent of 3.62% of our GDP compared to Germany's 1.18%. The member states of NATO are supposed to contribute 2% each year (we should lower our commitment to that 2% btw). Of the 28 countries in the alliance, only five -- the U.S., Greece, Poland, Estonia and the U.K. -- meet the target.
