Germany plans to renege on pledge to raise military spending.
From the article:-
The German government is poised to renege on its pledge to raise military spending, the latest gesture of defiance by Chancellor Angela Merkel toward President Donald Trump.
If confirmed at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, the move would mark a fresh step in the gradual estrangement between the U.S. and its erstwhile loyal European ally and comes after President Trump’s repeated attacks North Atlantic Treaty Organization leaders for not meeting a 2% military-spending target.
