United States Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has pressed NATO members to agree to Donald Trump’s demand for a major increase in defence spending ahead of a summit later this month.
The US president has said NATO allies should boost investment in defence to 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), up from the current target of 2 percent.
“To be an alliance, you got to be more than flags. You got to be formations. You got to be more than conferences. You need to be, keep combat-ready capabilities,” Hegseth said as he arrived for a meeting of defence ministers in Brussels on Thursday.
