NATO to propose 5% of GDP for defense at June summit

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will propose a defense investment plan totaling 5% of GDP at the Alliance summit in The Hague, scheduled for the end of June, Sky News reports.

Rutte addressed the issue of defense spending amid US calls for allies to increase investment to 5% of GDP.

"To meet these needs, Allies will need to invest much more in defense. This is now the work that awaits us in The Hague," the secretary general said.

According to Rutte, he will propose a comprehensive investment plan amounting to 5% of GDP for defense. His proposal would allocate 3.5% for core defense spending and 1.5% for broader defense and security investments.

"We all want to see this war (Russia's war against Ukraine) end with a just and lasting peace, and we fully support President Trump's urgent efforts to stop the bloodshed," the NATO Secretary General added. /CNA
