NATO Agrees to Increase Defense Spending to 5% of GDP, Spain's Reluctance Draws Attention

NATO has recently agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of member countries' Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This decision has sparked widespread discussion, particularly regarding Spain's reluctance, which has drawn criticism from former U.S. President Donald Trump.

The rationale behind this increase is clear, as the geographical distance between member countries and Russia decreases, making security concerns more pressing. Consequently, investment in NATO's defense capabilities is becoming increasingly crucial.
