While the majority of Nato allies were predicted to meet their 2 per cent defence spending pledge last year, it is true that some countries have spent less than 2 per cent of their GDP on their military budget. In fact, every single Nato member has increased their defence spending in terms of GDP between 2014 and 2024; except for the United States, whose military budget was slightly smaller, according to Nato estimates. Now, Trump is calling for Nato countries to increase defence spending to meet 5 per cent of GDP; a figure that even the US itself does not reach. Military personnel Last year, the United States military made up around 38 per cent of the 3.4 million combined troops from Nato allied countries.
