Bill > SRes346

This resolution urges all members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an international military alliance, to spend a minimum of 5 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense, with a specific breakdown of 3.5 percent allocated to traditional military spending and 1.5 percent dedicated to non-traditional defense areas like infrastructure and cybersecurity. The resolution, which acknowledges President Donald J. Trump's role in pushing for increased defense spending, aims to enhance NATO's military readiness and ability to respond to evolving threats. It praises NATO members who have already committed to spending over 2 percent of their GDP on defense and calls on NATO leadership to compel all members to adhere to the 5 percent commitment. The resolution highlights the importance of transparency, discipline, and alignment of defense expenditures with legitimate defense objectives, and ultimately reaffirms the United States Senate's commitment to maintaining a strong and united NATO alliance.
