Well, if Trump thought it's such a good idea he should have pushed to make it an actual obligation with punishment when its not met.

He also claimed that other countries take advantage of the USA while not understanding that in exchange for not contributing as much, the USA has had (traditionally) more privileges when it comes to setting the direction of foreign policy.
