Germany’s failure to fulfill NATO military spending commitments suggests that defense strategists in Berlin don’t take the threat of Russian aggression seriously, according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

“We do consider Russia to be a serious threat,” Pompeo said Thursday when asked about President Trump’s intention to reduce the number of American forces in Germany. “Spending one percent of your GDP on defense, as Germany does … that doesn’t show the resolve that Vladimir Putin needs to see from Germany.”
