What happened at NATO- the new defense budget explained

#breakingnews #nato #donaldtrump #iranisraelwar

NATO leaders have approved a significant increase in defence spending at a summit in The Hague on Wednesday (June 25), adopting a new target of 5% of GDP, up from the current 2% guideline set in 2014.

The new framework splits spending into two key areas:

3.5% of GDP for core defence needs such as troops, weapons, and equipment.

1.5% for broader security investments, including cyber-security, energy infrastructure protection, and military logistics.

The decision, strongly pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump, could lead to hundreds of billions of dollars in additional spending across the alliance.

Defence experts say increased investment in cyber and drone warfare is essential. Analyst Benjamin Jensen noted the growing threat of AI-powered cyberattacks and low-cost drones that can cripple expensive military assets. He suggested NATO consider forming drone brigades, similar to those seen in Ukraine, as part of a modernised, multi-national force.

The spending push comes amid the ongoing war in Ukraine and heightened concerns over future aggression from Russia.
