1:57Now PlayingNATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has called for a 400% increase in air and missile defense spending and a 'quantum leap' in the alliance's collective defense to address growing threats from Russia. Rutte is urging NATO members to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, with 3.5% for military and 1.5% for related infrastructure, echoing demands from U.S. President Donald Trump. Currently, 22 of 32 NATO members meet the 2% spending target, but only Poland exceeds the proposed 3.5% level. Rutte also emphasized the urgent need for more armored vehicles, artillery shells, and increased logistics and medical support, citing lessons from Russia's aerial attacks on Ukraine.
