flag Spain’s PM warns 5% defense spending goal may harm EU unity, favoring diplomacy over military buildup.

flag Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has warned that pushing European nations to spend 5% of GDP on defense by 2035 could prioritize arms over solidarity, urging diplomacy instead. flag His remarks, made in an interview with El País, reflect growing skepticism among some NATO members, including Hungary and Slovakia, about increased military spending driven by concerns over Russia and pressure from former U.S. President Donald Trump. flag The European Commission’s proposed €800 billion rearmament plan has intensified debate, with Moscow dismissing the buildup as a political provocation and accusing NATO of violating past promises not to expand near Russia’s borders.
