S 2151 United States Senate · 119th Congress

NATO Burden Sharing Report Act

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report to Congress by March 1st, detailing defense spending and military contributions from all NATO member countries and nations in the NATO Membership Action Plan. The report must include specific data on each country's defense budget (as a percentage of GDP), participation in joint military operations, contributions to Ukraine (categorized as "hard" or "soft" power), and assessments of their defense industrial base and military readiness. It aims to provide Congress with transparent, data-driven insights to evaluate whether NATO allies are meeting shared security commitments, particularly amid evolving threats. The bill does not alter U.S. policy but establishes a formal process for tracking allies' defense efforts.
