Bill overview
This House Resolution expresses concern that a majority of NATO member countries have not met the commitment to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense. It argues that the United States has disproportionately subsidized the security of these nations and urges them to increase their own defense spending. The resolution specifically highlights countries that have fallen short of the target and calls for a binding commitment to the 2% defense spending benchmark for all NATO members. It also references the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the significant financial support provided by the United States.
