NATO Allies Race to Meet Defense Targets | Europe News
Description
NATO’s defense spending is surging as European allies and Canada commit $258 billion between 2024 and 2026 to meet the 2035 5% GDP target — a bold move to reassure the U.S. and signal shared responsibility amid rising global tensions. Countries like Germany, Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia are leading the charge, while the UK, France, and Italy struggle with partially unfunded plans or budget reallocations, sparking debate. Officials are closely monitoring progress, wary of credibility gaps as nations juggle fiscal priorities — making the upcoming summit a make-or-break moment for alliance cohesion and security readiness.
