Increase in defense spending
In December 2024, Donald Trump stated that the US could leave NATO if European countries did not raise their defense spending from the then-current 2% to 5% of GDP.

At the NATO summit in The Hague in June, member states agreed to increase defense budgets to 5% of GDP over the next ten years.

Earlier, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) reported that global defense spending reached record levels last year, the highest since the Cold War.
