NATO leaders gather Tuesday for what could be a historic summit, or one marred by divisions

  • NATO leaders gathered in The Hague on June 24-25, 2025, for a summit focused on defense spending and alliance unity.
  • The summit followed longstanding tensions over burden-sharing, especially after Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and NATO's 2% GDP spending minimum agreed in 2022.
  • Spain rejected the proposed 5% GDP defense spending target, with U.S. President Trump publicly criticizing Spain and Canada as low contributors.
  • Spain spent less than 2% and Canada 1.45% of GDP on defense last year, while European allies provided 60% of Ukraine's military support in 2024.
  • The summit highlighted deep divides over spending and commitments, with implications for NATO's future cohesion and its support for Ukraine.
