Trump urges NATO members to spend 5% of GDP on defense

US President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday NATO members should be spending 5% of GDP on defense, up from the current 2% minimum.

At the Vilnius Summit in 2023, NATO leaders agreed upon a Defense Investment Pledge, making a commitment to invest at least 2% of GDP annually on defense.

Trump, who was an outspoken critic of NATO during his first term in office, is set to return to the White House for a second stint after his inauguration on January 20.
