北约首长提议提高国防开支 以回避特朗普5%的需求 NATO chief proposes raising defense spending to sidestep Trump's 5% demand.

北约秘书长马克·鲁特(Mark Rutte)建议成员国将国防开支增加到GDP的3.5%,并增加1.5%用于安保相关支出。 NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte proposes that member countries increase defense spending to 3.5% of GDP and allocate an additional 1.5% for security-related expenses. 这相当于美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)要求的5%,让特朗普在北约峰会上声称成功,而无需欧洲国家和加拿大直接承诺实现5%的军费开支目标。 This totals the 5% demanded by US President Donald Trump, allowing Trump to claim success at the NATO summit without requiring direct commitment to the 5% military spending target from European nations and Canada. 目前,在32个北约成员国中,有22个达到了现有的2%的国内生产总值支出目标。 Currently, 22 out of 32 NATO members meet the existing 2% GDP spending goal.
