The members of NATO, already pay US for their safety,Mr. Trump

Donald Trump often declared that NATO in an old alliance the members should pay US for security provided.
NATO membership doesn't mean that all countries will receive free weapons from US. They have to pay for their planes,tanks and rockets.
Below is a list with planes bought by NATO allies.The planes are the most expensive items and they are a good indicator of how much the US armament industry has sold in that countries.

• Albania
• Belgium 60 planes F16,10 transport plane Lockheed C-130 Hercules

• Bulgaria
• Canada 61 c-130 transport planes 

• Croatia
• Czech Republic
• Denmark 77 F16 planes

• Estonia
• France (has its own aircrafts)
• Germany (has its own aircrafts)
• Greece 170 F16 planes + 17 c-130 transport planes

• Hungary 3 Boeing C-17 Globemaster III

• Iceland
• Italy 34 F16 planes (leased): $777 million/10years+ 10 F35 planes

• Latvia
• Lithuania
• Luxembourg
• Netherlands 2 F35 planes and 35 to be delivered,61 F16 planes existing 216 bought,4 Lockheed C-130H-30 Hercules,3 Boeing C-17 Globemaster III

• Norway 74 F16 planes,10 F35 planes 

• Poland 48 F16 planes 

• Portugal 45 F16 planes

• Romania 5 C-130 transport planes ,6 F16 bought from Portugal

• Slovakia
• Slovenia
• Spain 13 C-130 transpor planes

• Turkey 250 F16 planes

• United Kindgdom 14 F35 planes

As we can see except France and Germany who have money and industry for producing their armament and they can provide security for the alliance, and excepting cash strapped countries, all other allies are customers of the US armament industry.
In addition to the planes the allies bought also spare parts, licenses, payed for trainings and bought equipment for land forces.

So if US will leave NATO, they will leave a lot of customers who will buy European made planes as Eurofighter ,Saab or Mirage.

Another interesting point is that the defense of UK,Netherlands,Italy and Norway is depending of F35 plane, so canceling this plane will determine these countries to find another supplier, and US will lose money and jobs.


In my opinion even a baby is better president as Trump: a baby doesn't know to speak and cannot affect the NATO security with stupid declarations, but most important a baby is cute.
