"NATO Chief Mark Rutte emphasizes the urgent need for a 'quantum leap' in collective security to address rising global threats, particularly from Russia."
"He proposes a significant increase in military spending targets, raising the goal to 3.5% of each member state's GDP, to adequately prepare for emerging threats."
In a meeting in London, NATO Chief Mark Rutte will advocate for a 'quantum leap' in collective security measures among members, emphasizing the need for increased defence spending as global threats, especially from Russia, intensify. Rutte's speech will call for a 400% increase in air and missile defenses and a substantial growth in armoured vehicles and artillery. He aims to raise military spending targets from 2% to 3.5% of GDP, encouraging countries like the UK to enhance their historical contributions. This reflects pressures from the US for greater European defence responsibility.
