NATO leaders gather at The Hague to vote on defense spending boost

NATO leaders are set to sign up to a big increase in defense spending on June 25, 2025 at a short summit tailor-made for US President Donald Trump, who struck a reassuring tone on his commitment to protecting fellow members of the alliance. The summit, taking place in the Dutch city The Hague, is expected to endorse a higher defense spending goal of 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) -- a response to a demand by Trump and to Europeans' fears that Russia poses a growing threat to their security following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
