Trump called out NATO for defense spending back in 2017, and now he’s pushing for a jaw-dropping 5% of GDP—a number even the U.S. doesn’t hit! Is it ambitious? Unrealistic? Or just Trump being Trump? In this video, we break down NATO’s new spending goals, including Mark Rutte’s push for “north of 3%,” the staggering 5% scenario, and what it all means for EU countries. From Germany’s struggles to meet 2%, to Poland’s bold push toward 4.7%, we explore whether Europe can catch up.
