NATO on Wednesday said that Europe was meeting an alliance spending target and the United States needed allies, days after former United State President Donald Trump suggested that Washington might not protect countries that did not spend enough.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg also urged the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives to pass a “vital” multi-billion dollar military aid package for Ukraine, warning lawmakers that China would be emboldened if Russia wins its war.
Stoltenberg stressed that the transatlantic alliance’s European states would invest a combined total of over three hundred billion dollar in defence this year, taking their spending as a whole to an estimated two percent of GDP in 2024 compared to 2023.
