Trump, Incoming U.S. President, Demands NATO Countries Increase Defense Spending to 5% from Current 2% Target
Jan 7, 2025, 05:55 PM
Donald Trump, the incoming U.S. president, has called for NATO member countries to increase their defense spending to 5% of their GDP, a significant increase from the current target of 2%. Trump stated that all NATO members can afford this level of spending, emphasizing that the current 2% target is insufficient. This demand comes as part of Trump's long-standing criticism of NATO, where he has previously threatened to withdraw the U.S. from the alliance if spending targets are not met.
