Allies to Announce Billions in Defense Investment Plans at NATO Summit, Says Rutte
Mark Rutte said that while countries are committed to increasing their defense capabilities, industry must step up in terms of innovation and production.
NATO allies will announce billions in defense spending plans at the upcoming summit in Turkey, reaffirming their commitment to the alliance. The announcement follows previous commitments made last year to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. Countries on NATO’s Eastern Flank, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland, are already exceeding these targets and continuing to invest.
