According to Jens Stoltenberg, the head of the alliance, NATO members have decided that their established goal of allocating 2% of their national output to defense will become a minimum threshold.
“Eleven allies now reach or exceed the two percent benchmark,” he said, at the end of the first day of the NATO summit in Vilnius.
“And we expect this number will rise substantially next year. Today, allies made an enduring commitment to invest at least two percent of gross domestic product annually in defence.”
