💨 Abstract

NATO members are considering increasing defense spending, potentially to 3.5% of GDP, with additional funding for civil defense, Ukraine support, and other security-related expenses. This discussion comes amid pressure from U.S. President Trump for NATO members to spend 5% of GDP on defense. The decision may be made at a NATO leaders' summit in The Hague in June. Sweden, a recent NATO member, is committed to meeting these increased spending targets.
