I can only say one thing: you are not doing your job properly by passing on incorrect information without correcting it.
The figures regarding NATO members' defense spending are completely outdated, as they are based on the reference date of June 2, 2025.
However, the latest figures have been available since March 16, 2026, in the Secretary General's report for the year 2025.
This is significant because Germany was not listed in the June 2, 2025 report; at that time, the budget had not yet been passed due to the change of government.
Therefore, here are the correct, up-to-date figures from the Secretary General's report (reference date: March 16, 2026):
USA: $980.0 billion
Germany: $120.7 billion
UK: $92.9 billion
France: $68.9 billion
Italy: $51.2 billion
Canada: $45.6 billion
Poland: $44.4 billion
