NATO’s NATO Foreign Ministers discussed an American demand for compeling the investment in five percent of the total domestic product in another seven years, as it is aimed at security issues outside the United States in Europe.
Antalya, in the negotiations in Turkey NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that more investment and military equipment is required to deal with the threat of Russia and terrorism, and the United States is needed by China.
“When it comes to the basic defense, we have to do more,” he said to Rutte journalists. After the war in Ukraine, Russia can reset the armed forces in three to five years.
The Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the “Union is as strong as the weakest connection,” he said. US investment needs insisted on “Spending money for the opportunities necessary for the threats of the 21st century.”
The controversy in defense spending is heated by US President Donald Trump and NATO counterparts on June 24-25. It is a high-level meeting that will appoint a course for future European security, including Ukraine.
Because of the second year of Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine in 2023, NATO leaders agreed to spend at least two percent of GDP in national defense budgets. So far, 22 of the 32 member countries did so.
The new spending plan considered, all allies to determine 3.5 percent of defense budgets by 2032, plus infrastructure – roads, bridges, airports and seaports increased by 1.5 percent.

Although the two digits are added in five percent, infrastructure and cyberspace will change the basis of NATO traditionally calculated defense costs. The seven-year framework is short of the usual standards of the Alliance.
Rutte refused to confirm the numbers taken into account, but it was important to include infrastructure in the equation, “Because because the bridges will be a tank, and if necessary, all these costs should take into account.”
Germany said he supported Trump’s request on Thursday.
“We are following it (Trump) and we see this as an open obligation of the United States to Article 5 of NATO,” German New Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, referring to the mutual defense pact.
It is difficult to see how many members will reach 3.5 percent. If in Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Italy, Luxembourg, Portuguese, Slovenia and Spain, despite and Spain, Spain expects this goal in 2025, was past history.
The US request will require an unprecedented scale, but Trump, the US protection of very few allies, and this should be in danger of Russia.
In the European scale, industrial leaders and specialists, the continent, in addition to its unique military force, mainly in the United States, should be able to cope with its long-term reliability.
“There’s a lot of share for us,” Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys. NATO calls on its partners to meet faster than 2032 targets, because we see the pace and speed, because we now create their forces while speaking Russia now. “
British Foreign Minister David Lammy said that his country should reach 2.5 percent by 2027, and then the next UK elections for 2029 will increase by three percent.
“In this difficult geopolitical moment of geopolitical in this difficult geopolitical geopolitical in the world we recommend and are so valuable in the world and are very valuable in India, we are very important to our partners.
As an organization, NATO does not play direct security in Asia, and the things that require allies because the Trump management focuses on China. The latest NATO security operation outside the Euro-Atlantic territory, stay in 18 years of Afghanistan, and ended in chaos.
