After criticism from Donald Trump, NATO boasts of increasing budgets. Eighteen out of 31 NATO countries will reach the target of 2% of GDP in military spending this year.
NATO has not disclosed the list of countries that have reached the 2% target, but Germany has indicated that it will be part of it this year and France next year. A meeting of countries supporting the Ukrainian war effort is planned for Wednesday on the sidelines of the ministerial meeting, in the absence of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
