I find it hilarious that you show graphs that entirely support my point as sone kind of gotcha. The other poster put it well. Europe as a whole has given more.
The EU as an institution gave cash and the US has given more arms total. That EU cash comes from the member nations so there are two levels of contribution for each EU country which you can see from the German arms deliveries that are not counted under the EU contribution but it’s still partly German money being sent when an EU contribution happens. It’s conceptually similar to a US state sending separate funding or arms beyond the federal contribution.
The pie chart you show has exactly the same percentage for the US as mine (42.7%) so it’s just a different representation of the same data. That “other” section on your chart (23.1%) includes contributions from 26 other EU countries beyond their EU money which, when coupled together will conveniently bring it to the total in the graph I posted showing Europe (including non-EU like the UK and Norway) as a whole contributing more, as it should.
