The nine Nato countries that missed their defence spending targets

The nine Nato countries that missed their defence spending targets
While NATO leaders are pushing to raise defense spending targets, nine member countries still haven’t hit the current ones. It’s a bit awkward—like showing up late to a meeting where everyone’s already discussing the next big goal.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about budgets—it’s about trust and reliability within NATO. If some allies aren’t keeping their promises, it weakens the alliance’s credibility, especially at a time when global tensions are high. It’s a reminder that grand pledges mean little without follow-through.
