NATO set to agree big spike in defence spending at ‘historic summit’

NATO leaders met in The Hague to discuss increasing defence spending to 5% of GDP, amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump.

Secretary General Mark Rutte praised Trump’s leadership, saying the U.S. would no longer shoulder the burden alone.

Most members support the new targets, though Spain and Slovakia voiced concerns.

Spain is aiming for just 2.1%, calling the percentage debate “misguided.”

The summit also reaffirmed NATO’s commitment to Ukraine and mutual defence.

Trump, attending his first NATO summit since 2019, focused more on Middle East tensions than Ukraine, the BBC has reported.

Despite some unease, leaders emphasized alliance unity and strength.
