NATO is only as strong and capable as all 32 Allies make it. Thanks to President Trump, we have seen great progress on ‪@NATO‬ defense spending — but we need all Allies to step up. Our future security and stability depends on it. Now is the time for Allies to contribute more to defense spending and make NATO stronger. Secretary Rubio is advancing President Trump's call for increased spending to 5% of GDP while meeting with NATO Allies this week. #NATO #Europe #NATO75 #Türkiye
