Es ist unklar, wie weit fortgeschritten das bereits ist, aber die Financial Times (via Bpb-Newsletter) meldet, die europäischen NATO-Staaten würden über eine Erhöhung der Ausgabenuntergrenze von aktuell 2% auf 3% des BIP diskutieren: „European Nato members are holding talks about increasing the alliance’s target for defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP at its annual summit next June partly in anticipation of Donald Trump’s return as US president. Four people involved in the preliminary talks told the Financial Times they were discussing the steep rise from 2 per cent of GDP, a move that would put intense pressure on already strained national budgets and that has raised misgivings in many capitals.“(jw)
