The nine Nato countries that missed their defence spending targets

Nato leaders are discussing a significant increase in defense spending, aiming for members to spend 5% of their GDP on core defense and security. Nearly a third of Nato countries did not meet the existing 2% target, with Spain being criticized by President Trump. While pressure is mounting to meet the spending goals, some countries like Spain are pushing for more focus on smart procurement over increased spending, with plans to reach the 2% target soon.
