Trump's call for NATO members to raise spending to 5% of GDP has met with skepticism, particularly from European leaders who highlight existing budget challenges.
Ralf Stegner criticized Trump's proposal as 'delusional' and expressed concern over the diversion of funds from pressing issues like poverty and migration.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto highlighted practical difficulties, stating that achieving 5% of GDP for defense spending is nearly impossible for most nations.
Despite skepticism, some European nations acknowledge the need for increased defense spending, particularly given geopolitical tensions with Russia.
