Трамп таки їх нагнув..
А majority of NATO members will meet their spending targets this year as member states grapple with the potential of former President Trump winning re-election in November.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced Wednesday that 18 of the alliance's 31 members are on track to meet their pledges of contributing 2% of GDP to the group. European states are on track to contribute $380 billion this year, and
Germany will meet its 2% pledge for the first time since the Cold War.
The figures show a dramatic uptick compared to 2023, which saw just 11 NATO allies meet their 2% spending pledge.
"That is another record number and a six-fold increase from 2014 when only three allies met the target," Stoltenberg said at a press conference on Wednesday.
