During the NATO summit at The Hague, President Donald Trump announced that member countries would aim to increase their defense spending to 5% of their GDP by 2035, which he termed a significant victory for Europe. The declaration outlined that at least 3.5% would go to hard defense, including weapon purchases, while 1.5% would focus on military mobility and cyber defense. However, concerns arose as some nations, particularly Spain, expressed reluctance to meet this goal due to domestic political instability and budgetary constraints.
President Trump hailed the NATO allies' new pledge to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035 as "a big win for Europe and for western civilization."
The declaration calls for at least 3.5% of GDP to be spent on hard defense, while up to 1.5% will go towards military mobility and cyber defense.
