“We paid $500 million a year and China paid $39 million a year despite a much larger population. Think of that. China’s paying $39 million to have 1.4 billion people, we pay $500 million we have – no one knows what the hell we have, does anyone know? We have so many people pouring in we have no idea,” Trump told rally goers on Saturday.

“They offered me at $39 million, they said ‘We’ll let you back in for $39 million,’ they’re going to reduce it from [$500 million] to [$39 million], and I turned them down, because it became so popular I didn’t know if it would be well received even at [$39 million], but maybe we would consider doing it again, I don’t know, they have to clean it up a bit.”

The President’s court cases regarding the United States pay too much on those who mirror his court cases regarding U. S. participation in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). During the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland last week, Trump said he asked all NATO nations to contribute 5% of their gross national products to NATO’s defense spending.
NATO established a 2% threshold that countries have to pay in 2014, but, according to Trump, “most nations have not paid” until they begin to press so that other countries give more contribution. However, according to NATO general secretary, Mark Rutte, countries such as Spain, Italy and Canada have not yet complied with this 2%contribution.

Following Trump’s demands that NATO members spend 5% of their gross domestic product, he questioned whether the U.S. should be spending anything on NATO at all, telling reporters from the Oval Office that the U.S. was protecting NATO members, but those same members are “not protecting us.”
“I’m not sure we should be spending anything, but we should certainly be helping them,” Trump said from the Oval Office.
