NATO members commit to spending hike sought by Trump
NATO leaders supported a major increase in military expenditures demanded by US President Donald Trump, and after a short summit in the Netherlands, they re -expressed their commitment to defense of each other.
While Trump takes what he wants at the annual meeting, he is specially prepared for him, but NATO will relax his allies from the fact that the military alliance adhere to the basic collective defense principle.
Trump said to a press conference that we had a great victory here ve and added that he hoped that the funds will be spent on military equipment in the USA.
However, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez threatened to punish Spain after explaining that he could meet his commitments to NATO while spending much less than the new target of GDP.
“I think it is terrible. You know, they are going very well… And when something bad happens, the economy can explode from water, Tr Trump said, Spanish will get a more difficult trade agreement from other European Union countries than other European Union countries.
In a statement of five points, NATO approved the highest defense expenditure target-not only Trump, not Trump, but to the fears of Russia’s increasing threat to Russia’s security after 2022 Ukraine invasion.
32 The Brief Communiqué of the Allied’s short communiqué added: “We re -confirm our commitment to the collective defense in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty – said that the attack was an attack on everyone.”
Trump, who wants to clarify his own attitude in Article 5, said, “I am standing with him. That’s why I’m here. If I hadn’t stopped with him, I wouldn’t be here.”
For a long time, Trump hasn’t demanded uncertainly to increase other countries’ expenditures to reduce NATO’s heavy confidence in the United States.
Despite the general agreement, the French President Emmanuel Macron raised the damage to transatlantic trade as an obstacle to steep import tariffs threatened by Trump and increased military expenditures threatened by Trump.
“We can’t say we’re going to start a trade war in NATO’s heart, Mac said Macron.
He said he had grown with Trump several times.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, hosting the summit at Hague, said that NATO would emerge as a “stronger, more fair and more deadly” alliance.
He said that former Dutch Prime Minister Trump deserves “all praise” to decide to increase the defense expenditures of NATO members.
He asked a reporter if he had used excessive praise to maintain Trump during the summit, he said that two men were friends in the routine and that his approach was a matter of taste.
The new expenditure target to be achieved in the next 10 years is a jump worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year from the current target of two percent of GDP, but will be measured differently.
Countries promised to spend 3.5 percent of GDP for nuclear defense, such as troops and weapons, and promised to adapt ways and bridges to protect pipelines and to handle heavy military vehicles.
