An important demand for NATO members from US President Donald Trump is when Warsaw seeks to achieve its objectives to increase security costs by 5% of the GDP by next year.
Trump has continued to criticize Europe for lack of importance for his security and low military and security costs. He accused Washington of long -term Atlantic allies of “supporting” in the United States via NATO.
Last week, Estonia, a member of NATO, announced the bill of thousands of euros for additional security expenses. This action will lead to the Baltic Country Trump’s need to meet the limit, and the neighboring Russian country of GDP will be placed at 5.4% of the security costs.
Poland states that in February 2022, after the total invasion of Ukraine by Russia, it is determined to increase military investment to excel against any threats.
