US pressures NATO on deal increasing defense spending

June 06, 2025

The Freeman

US defense chief Pete Hegseth on Thursday pushed NATO to agree a deal on ramping up defense spending that can satisfy President Donald Trump at a summit later this month.

The volatile US leader has demanded that alliance members agree to boost defense budgets to five percent of their GDP at the June 24-25 meeting in The Netherlands.

NATO chief Mark Rutte has put forward a compromise agreement for 3.5 percent of GDP on core military spending by 2032, and 1.5 percent on broader security-related areas such as infrastructure.

"We're here to continue the work that President Trump started, which is a commitment to five percent defense spending across this alliance, which we think will happen, we think has to happen by the summit at The Hague," Hegseth said at the start of a meeting with NATO counterparts in Brussels.
