A resolution urging all members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to spend a minimum of 5 percent of gross domestic product on defense.

This is a Senate resolution urging all members of NATO to spend a minimum of 5 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. The proposed 5% target is to be divided into 3.5% for traditional military spending and 1.5% for non-traditional defense-related spending such as infrastructure and cyber security resilience. The resolution references prior efforts and statements (including the Hague Summit Declaration and remarks about 2% GDP targets) and calls for clear, verifiable, and transparent defense expenditures. It emphasizes that all allies should meet the 5% goal, with non-traditional spending aligned to legitimate defense objectives, and it reiterates the United States Senate’s commitment to a strong, united NATO.
