Direct Funding (NATO Budgets)
•Total Budget: NATO’s common fund budget (including military, civil, and security investment programs) was roughly €3.3 billion ($3.59 billion) in 2023.
•U.S. Share: For 2024–2025, the U.S. and Germany are the joint largest contributors, each providing about 15.8%–16% of this direct funding.
•New Formula: A 2019 agreement, pushed by the first Trump administration, reduced the U.S. direct contribution from around 22% to roughly 16% to address burden-sharing complaints. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
