flag NATO chief proposes raising defense spending to sidestep Trump's 5% demand.

flag NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte proposes that member countries increase defense spending to 3.5% of GDP and allocate an additional 1.5% for security-related expenses. flag This totals the 5% demanded by US President Donald Trump, allowing Trump to claim success at the NATO summit without requiring direct commitment to the 5% military spending target from European nations and Canada. flag Currently, 22 out of 32 NATO members meet the existing 2% GDP spending goal.
