NATO leaders are meeting in The Hague to discuss a historic military spending target of 5% of GDP, a significant increase for most members currently spending less than 3%. The budget includes 3.5% for core defense and 1.5% for vague 'defense and security-related investments', which may lead to varied interpretations among member states.

The agreement aims for countries to reach the 5% target by 2035, with a review in 2029. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
