This schedule shows how far the NATO allies need to go to get up to 5% GDP

Before the annual summit this week, the Allies, as reported, agreed on Sunday To hiking for protection up to 5% gross domestic product (GDP) by 2035. To get to this purpose, however, this is another matter.

The 5% figure consists of 3.5% of GDP, which should be spent on “clean” protection, with additional 1.5% GDP switching to safety infrastructure, such as cyber-war and exploration capabilities.

But one schedule based on NATO assessments for membership protection costs in 2024 shows which high order will be 5% of the target for 32 member states, and some are struggling to even meet the 2014 pact to spend 2% GDP for defense.

Defense costs have long been thorny for NATO members and a sustainable source of annoyance for US President Donald Trump who was Demanding the Allies to double their expenses from 2% to 4% GDP All the way back in 2018.

NATO protection costs, however, rose sharply among NATO members because Trump was the last in power.

Then, perhaps, in the midst of the annoyance of the leader of the White House with the block, only six member states reached 2% of the goal, including in the US, however; By 2024 23 members reached the threshold 2%, According to NATO.

While some have significantly exceeded this goal – such as Poland, Estonia, USA, Latvia and Greece – large economies, including Canada, Spain and Italy, lagged below the deposit threshold.

Other countries are ahead of the game when it comes to hike. Poland, on the eastern flank of the alliance and the nervous permanent war in neighboring Ukraine, He says he will soon spend 5% of GDP on the way.

Meanwhile, Estonia, which also shares the border with Russia, approved the investment protection program that is Expected to increase your annual defense budget On average, 5.4% of GDP from 2026 to 2029.

Uneven geographical distribution of military expenses in the European States can still cause friction at the summit this week, Karsten Nickel, Deputy Director for Response Response Thanneo on Monday in e -mail.

“However, the big defense costs will in any case solve only part of a deeper problem for transatlantic relations,” he said, trading in the military volume, trade deficit and policy in China also threatens relations between the allies.
