NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced that the Alliance has reached the target of 2% of GDP for defense spending, with recent commitments from Portugal and Canada. While this is positive news, the Hague summit is expected to set a new target of at least 5% of GDP, under pressure from US President Donald Trump. Trump's criticism of European allies' underspending has sparked these discussions, and Poland is the only country that has exceeded 3.5% of GDP for defense.
