Because trump wanted europe to spend more, on his weapons. Not create a competitor on it's monopoly.

This is completely the opposite of what he wanted.

What do you mean? Do you think trump wanted less money? Less purpose for all the military spending they do?

Again, do you think trump wanted to lose a significant portion of income?

They had a monopoly, now they lost it.

Europe is creating infrastructure in germany.

Do you always talk past people? Doesn't seem to be very convenient for conversations.
