Nato chief is determined to give Trump a win with 5% defence spending plan

NATO chief Mark Rutte is determined to give President Trump a win by proposing that member nations spend 5% of GDP on defense, a significant increase from the current 2% target. This move aims to avoid criticism from the US for allies not investing enough in defense. Rutte's compromise plan involves increasing core defense spending to 3.5% of GDP and includes "defense-related expenditure" to provide flexibility, potentially easing the burden on European nations.
