US EditionHundreds protest in The Hague against NATO, days before the Dutch city hosts alliance summit
- Hundreds protested on June 22, 2025, in The Hague against NATO, increased military spending, and possible conflict with Iran before a NATO summit.
- The protest followed U.S. attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites and amid demands by U.S. President Donald Trump to raise NATO defense spending targets.
- The upcoming summit will host leaders of the 32-nation alliance to discuss increasing defense budgets to at least 2 percent of GDP, with some pushing for 5 percent.
- Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the 5 percent target unreasonable in a letter to NATO's Secretary-General Mark Rutte, urging a more flexible formula, while Trump said Madrid was “notorious” for underspending.
- The protest and summit highlight tensions over defense spending commitments and regional conflicts, as NATO watches developments closely under heightened security measures.
