BTCCSquare news:
NATO member states have agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, marking the alliance's most significant financial commitment in over a decade. The decision comes as war rages in Ukraine and tensions escalate globally. A minimum of 3.5% will fund direct military operations, while 1.5% supports infrastructure and innovation projects.
The move follows years of pressure from Washington, particularly during both TRUMP administrations. "There are numerous definitions of Article 5," Trump remarked aboard Air Force One, while reaffirming his commitment to NATO allies. The agreement strengthens Article 5 protections, ensuring collective defense remains ironclad.
