NATO Hits 2% Defense Spending Target, Aims for 5% by 2035

Published 5 days, 10 hours ago
Description

NATO marks historic defense spending milestone, surpassing two percent GDP target for the first time since 2014, with a total of $1.4 trillion. Standout countries include Poland and Lithuania at over four percent, while others like Denmark and Norway also exceed the target. Despite progress, former President Trump criticizes NATO for not joining the U.S. and Israel in conflict with Iran. The U.S. sits at three point two percent, while the UK, France, and others barely meet the two percent mark. Hungary and the Czech Republic technically meet the target but cut spending. Diplomats urge laggards to step up before the new five percent target by 2035.
