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 resolution urges all NATO member countries to commit to spending at least 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense. It specifies that 3.5% should cover traditional military spending and 1.5% should address non-military security efforts like cyber resilience and infrastructure. The resolution directly addresses all 32 NATO members, particularly those not meeting prior spending targets, and criticizes current ambiguity in defense commitments. As a non-binding Senate resolution, it formally expresses the U.S. Senate's position without creating new law or altering existing obligations.
