Previewing the forthcoming Defence Ministers’ meetings, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg disclosed that since the inception of the Defence Investment Pledge in 2014, European Allies and Canada have collectively injected over $600 billion into defence.
He further projected that in 2024, 18 Allies would be allocating 2% of their GDP to defence—a remarkable escalation from 2014, when only three Allies met this target.
The Secretary General’s optimism regarding the trajectory of defence expenditure among NATO Allies resonates with a broader narrative of renewed vigour and solidarity within the alliance.
