US EditionNATO chief said to seek defense spending at 5% of GDP by 2032
- At a June summit in The Hague, NATO’s leadership, including Mark Rutte, proposed that member states commit to increasing their defense and related expenditures to 5% of GDP by 2032.
- This proposal is influenced by President Donald Trump's push for NATO allies to increase their defense budgets, alongside heightened security concerns following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
- Rutte suggests reaching 3.5% GDP on direct military spending and 1.5% on related areas like infrastructure and cybersecurity within seven years but acknowledges discussions remain early with no consensus yet.
- Last year, 22 of NATO's 32 members met the 2% spending target, while the U.S. Spent 3.19% GDP, with Poland and Estonia spending more, and Germany’s Chancellor Merz stated each 1% GDP increase equals 45 billion euros.
- If adopted, the higher spending targets could strengthen NATO’s defense posture but will require parliamentary approval in member countries and involve overcoming current internal debates.
