Nato leaders have agreed to ramp up defence spending to 5% of their countries' economic output by 2035, following pressure from Donald Trump. The US president called it a 'big win for Europe and Western civilisation'. Members united against security challenges, including the threat from Russia and terrorism. The commitment does not include a condemnation of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Nato reaffirmed its commitment to mutual defense. Trump initially raised questions but later supported Article Five. The summit was seen as historic, with decisions supporting Ukraine and promoting peace. The plan involves increasing defense spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2035, with additional investments in security infrastructure.
