Show Notes
NATOs European allies and Canada significantly increased defense spending in 2025, reaching 2.77% of their collective GDP. The alliances chief, Mark Rutte, praised the progress and urged maintaining the momentum towards a new 5% target by 2035. However, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized NATO partners for not doing enough, particularly on issues like Iran. Despite the U.S. still covering about 60% of total spending, Rutte stressed the importance of a strong transatlantic link as global threats escalate, with the next summit in Ankara set to solidify the path forward.
