But some of America's biggest traditional allies have not done enough to even put themselves on a path to get to that level of spending.
The biggest laggard is probably the UK.
And so I expect the president to voice his frustration with that pretty significantly, probably tomorrow during some of these bigger meetings.
And remember, the 5% isn't even really 5%.
It's like 3.5% on the military, 1.5% on infrastructure.
So that could be like building runways or something on your air bases.
There are ways to make this work.
And, you know, as much as this has gotten a lot of play, most of the alliance kind of agrees that this is necessary.
Russia spends like 40 percent of their GDP on defense.
And so the allies do have to step this up here.
But who domestically is able to pull that off or at least convincingly take steps in the right direction has shown a little bit of a fissure in NATO about sort of.
The domestic politics of each of these individual countries, but also the degree to which they really view Russia in this moment as a real threat.
I don't think he has confirmed it or denied it one way or the other.
I think sort of holistically, that is not in keeping with his approach.
He doesn't want to give anything to Ukraine.
I think the bigger concession from the U.S.
will be something that doesn't have the paper value necessarily, but would be huge in this fight.
And that would be granting Ukraine or any other countries along that front line licenses to build the materials that they need the most.
And those are those interceptors for Patriot missiles.
Right now, only the Germans and the Japanese are the only other countries who are allowed to build their own interceptors.
