US EditionCarney to begin talks on NATO spending target as summit starts today in The Hague
- NATO leaders from 32 countries, including the US and Canada, are convening for a two-day summit starting June 24 in The Hague, Netherlands.
- The summit follows ongoing tensions including Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and recent US-Iran conflicts, as well as debates over increasing defense spending targets.
- Ukrainian President Zelensky is invited but will not join the main discussions, while security and aid for Ukraine, NATO spending levels, and Russia’s threat remain key topics.
- NATO members agreed to raise defense budgets to at least 2% of GDP by 2024, with a proposed new target of 5% by 2032, though some countries, like Spain, reject the hike as unrealistic.
- The summit's outcomes could impact NATO's long-term support for Ukraine, alliance unity under US leadership, and collective defense spending amid an uncertain geopolitical climate.
