Today’s “Word of the Day” is delinquent and it is an adjective meaning “relating to a person who fails to do (pay) his/her (financial) obligation by the due date; irresponsible, negligent, careless (in one’s duty)”.
Example Sentence: The US is planning to pull nearly 12,000 troops out of Germany in a move the Pentagon insisted was about long-term strategy but which Donald Trump said was to punish Berlin for low defence spending. The President Donald Trump told journalists at the White House he had ordered the troop withdrawal because Berlin was being “delinquent” by not spending enough money on defence. Trump wrongly claimed, as he has many times in the past, that Germany was not paying its “Nato fees”.
