> It's part of the conditions for NATO membership. Oh and to have 4% as a target.

Could you please share where the 2% were defined in the requirements since 1949, and where the 4% are currently defined?

As I already stated, the 2% requirement I'm aware of was negotiated in 2014, to be reached by the end of 2024. If this is indeed where the 2% come from, it's obviously completely ridiculous to act like the member countries didn't meet the requirements - it wasn't a requirement of the treaty they signed!
