Background:
- Last month, NATO stated that the Alliance was on track to meet its plan to finance Ukraine's defence in 2025 at the level of €40 billion.
- Rutte also emphasised that all NATO member states must reach the 2% GDP defence spending target, warning that failure to do so would mean having to deal with Donald Trump.
