💨 Abstract

Germany supported U.S. President Donald Trump's call to increase NATO's defense spending target to 5% of GDP, amidst concerns about Russia and Trump's past threats to withdraw from the alliance. The proposal, discussed by NATO foreign ministers in Antalya, suggests 3.5% for defense and 1.5% for security-related issues. While some countries view 5% as unrealistic, others insist on core military spending.
