Spain has rejected NATO's proposal to allocate 5% of its GDP to defense spending, labeling it as 'unreasonable'. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez emphasized that adhering to such a commitment could detract from optimal defense spending and impede the EU's security framework. Despite plans to boost defense spending to meet the 2% target, Spain currently spends less than 2%. Meanwhile, President Trump has warned that Spain's economy could face significant consequences unless they conform to NATO's demands, hinting at tougher negotiations ahead.
