Now it is official: in the future it will be well upgraded within NATO. By 2035 at least five percent of GDP must flow into defense measures. However, a bit can be cheated …
Literally states in the joint explanation of Summit of The Hague: “Given the in-depth safety threats and challenges, in particular the long-term threat to the Euro-Atlantic security by Russia and the continuous threat of terrorism, the Allies commit themselves to investing 5 percent of the GDP annually in the main defense and security.”
This is followed by the Member States of the specification of US President Donald Trump, who expressed himself for the increase. Finally, the state leaders could agree on a compromise that was led to the field by NATO boss Mark Rutte and holds a back door open.
The quota will be divided into two in the future. 3.5 percent of GDP will flow into traditional upgrade (military device). In the case of the remaining 1.5 percent, investments that only have to do with the defense sector can be taken into account. Here the example of infrastructure or cyber defense is always mentioned.
More information soon …
