The transatlantic alliance&#8217;s European states would invest a combined total of $380 billion in defence this year, taking their spending as a whole to an estimated 2% of GDP in 2024 compared to 1.85% in 2023, Stoltenberg said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump shocked Europeans on Saturday by implying that he would encourage Russia &#8220;to do whatever the hell they want&#8221; to NATO allies that did not spend enough. The 31 allies have committed to a target of spending 2% of their output on defence but not all have done so individually. &#8220;I expect 18 allies to spend 2% of their GDP on defence this year,&#8221; Stoltenberg told a news conference in Brussels, adding overall military spending was set for another record year after two years of Russia&#8217;s full-fledged war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The number was higher than last year, when 11 NATO members were expected to reach the agreed target. Addressing journalists&#8217; questions linked to the controversy around Trump&#8217;s comments, Stoltenberg said the United States knew how important the defence alliance is for its own security. &#8220;The United States have never fought a war alone,&#8221; he said ahead of a NATO ministers&#8217; meeting. &#8220;The criticism we hear is not about NATO, it is about NATO allies not spending enough on NATO,&#8221; he added, saying the new hike in military spending by European allies was proof this message had been heard.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/nato-chief-says-18-countries-meet-2-military-spending-target-2024-02-14\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/nato-chief-says-18-countries-meet-2-military-spending-target-2024-02-14\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/126822\/\">NATO chief says Europe meeting spending targets after Trump comments<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[680,4297,555,696,847,3873],"class_list":["post-125335","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-chief","tag-comment","tag-csr-news-en","tag-europe","tag-nato","tag-trump"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125335\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
