The Independent emphasizes the importance of independent journalism in tackling major issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and defense spending. Recently, NATO leaders are expected to discuss a 5% GDP defense spending target; however, this will not necessarily apply to all member states. Spain has negotiated an exemption, raising questions about spending commitments from other allies like Belgium and Canada. Amidst these discussions, The Independent highlights the need for reporters to provide a balanced view without paywalls to enhance public access and understanding.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
In announcing Spain's decision Sunday, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said the spending pledge language in NATO's final summit communique would no longer refer to all allies.
