NATO members agreed Sunday, the increase in the total internal product (GDP), which has been a 2% liability since 2014, up to 2035, increases up to 5% defense costs. Trump previously required The costs of allies increase the GDP in 2018 to 4% of GDP. Experts say Fortune During the next ten years, it may not be possible to make a billion additional dollar collection for defense spending.
Pact, an introduction to 3.5% of GDP to “basic” defense, “1.5% of GDP, including infrastructure and durability” Website. NATO to put interests to perspective Approximate Britain, in 2024, spent 2.33% of GDP or $ 82.1 billion.
Experts say that Sunday Agreement can be more than one political game, because European countries are strengthening the union in European countries and geopolitical confusion.
“Five percent would only be crazy for Europeans,” Liana Fix said a parliament about foreign relations companion for Europe Fortune. Although corrected, 3.5% of GDP is a real price for the needs of many member countries.
“Most European countries did not spend 5% (GDP) in the Cold War,” he said. “If this is clearly in the fact that it is difficult to communicate with European circles, it is still a lifeless discussion with Donald Trump, it is not a matter of real defense expenses required by Europeans.”
We expected to clarify the “3.5% and 1.5% division” during the NATO summit, which will be able to fall in addition to 1.5 percent of the leaders in addition to 1.5% of GDP.

Correctly designed to place Trump completely placing 5% of the target screen NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s approved personal message to Social on Tuesday. “No American president, who is a message of Rutte, who is a message of Rutte, which is confirmed by the NATO Press Office, said that Europe will pay greatly, and this will be your victory.”
“The deficit (NATO agreement), the Secretary General is a clearly designed classic compromise by Mark Rutte,” Bruegel said Jacob Funk Kirkegaard Fortune. “It is a European leader that openly understands how well this game is to play well.”
NATO leaders said Trump was in a good mood throughout the visit.
“The idea for this summit really gives Donald Trump’s lap to a victory, ‘You’ve come to this point. We do it.” And only to prevent the controversial issue on the agenda, “he said.
On the way to the summit, Trump suspected the basic principle of the NATO alliance, and among the 5th nations in Article 5 related to the collective protection agreement. When asked if he was committed to a corresponding paragraph, Trump be responsible: “It depends on your definition. There are numerous definitions of the fifth item. You know that right?”
In Article 5, if a NATO ally is attacked, each member state will “report the act of violence as an armed attack on all members,” and the NATO will help the country Website.
A single front-welcoming person, 23 from 32 member countries may prioritize the NATO union deliver 2% of GDP spending and 2% of experts think that some will reach 5% of 2035 or more.
Although the US defense finance is 2.7% in 2024, the record is low, US Department of Defense. NATO information The United States spends 2024 protection below 3.5%.
“Ripple effects for the US economy will probably be negative,” he said.
Countries where they began to meet with a new target
German cabinet confirmed The budget and budget project for 2025 and the budget framework for 2026 plans to reach 3.5% of the GDP in 2029 six years before NATO’s target of NATO.
“(Germany) willing (s) will be a poster child who will increase Europe’s own capabilities,” Eurasian team Techau Fortune.
CFR’s correction is “really in good condition” to understand the country’s plan, because it is indebted and can increase defense costs via loans and borrowed more.
Therefore, Poland’s defense spending was 4.2% in 2024 and projected to increase to 4.7% in 2025 NATO.
Techau said they approached some Russian countries, Baltic countries, Baltic countries and the Scandinavian countries, and said that the target costs of the Scandinavian countries said that this trend is surprising.
Countries that are difficult to reach the target of countries
Spain recalled the contract. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was not forced to meet the 5% target of Madrid because it would have to spend 2.1% of GDP to meet the main military requirements of the GDP declare Sunday.
“They experience a problem with Spain”, “Trump gossip Tuesday. “Always a problem with Spain. Spain has no consent of Spain, which is very unfair for the rest of Spain.”
Great British Prime Minister Keir Starmer gossip For war in the country, “be actively prepared”, do not enter the expenditure target. Although the country was “financial problem” to achieve this goal, Kirkegaegaard said.
“Fiscal problems are probably the sharpest in England, France, Spain, Spain,” said Kirkekegaard.
However, European countries seem to find solutions to potential The retraction of the US troop from the region.
Kirkegaard told European intelligence to European intelligence that the Ukrainian-Russian war ends tomorrow, Russia’s “One or more NATO members will be prepared for a wider war.
“Today for Europe today there is a very unpleasant situation in Ukraine or the United States today,” he said.
