Donald Trump has rightly stated he would defend NATO allies that spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense.
allies that meet the alliance’s defense spending target of 2% of their GDP. Amid the war in Ukraine and associated Russian threats to Europe, there is no excuse for any NATO member not to meet that target.Nigel Farage, Trump was asked about recent comments in which he said he would encourage Russia to attack a NATO ally that spent less than 2% of GDP. He told Farage that “what I’m saying is a form of negotiation.
But Farage then pushed the key point: “If start to pay their bills properly and the club is fair, are places like Poland going to be defended? Will America be there?” After all, while those allies are most at threat from Russia, they are also exceeding the 2%-of-GDP target. Most have been meeting that target for years now. This is especially true of Poland and the Baltic States; Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. New NATO member Finland also exceeds the 2% target. Still, Poland, the focus of Farage’s question, is particularly notable. The latest NATO figures show that Poland spent 3.92% of its GDP on defense in 2023.
