This chart exhibits how far NATO allies have to hike to get to five% of GDP

NATO wants members to spend BIG on defense! Like, 5% of their GDP by 2035. Whoa! That's for "pure" defense AND security upgrades. The goal? Show a united front to the world. But

hitting 5% is a HUGE challenge for many. Some countries struggle to even reach 2%. Spain already said "no thanks" to the hike. Even supportive countries might find it tough. Poland

and Estonia are already ahead of the curve. Uneven spending could cause friction within NATO. Defense spending is just one piece of the puzzle. Trade and China policy also cause

disagreements. Is this spending hike a good move for NATO? Will it really make a difference in the world?
