The leaders of NATO member states have begun a two-day summit in Ankara, hosted by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The main topics include increasing defense spending, strengthening the capabilities of the defense industry, enhancing Europe's role within NATO, and continuing support for Ukraine. Most member states allocated two percent of their GDP to defense last year, as agreed upon previously. European NATO members and Canada plan to increase their defense budgets by 11% this year, reaching $634 billion (€555 billion). This represents a smaller increase compared to the rise between 2024 and 2025, which was over 19%. The summit aims to address gaps in defense capabilities and reinforce collective security commitments.

The NATO summit in Ankara aims to showcase a transformed alliance where European members take on greater defense responsibilities. This comes after European allies and Canada increased their defense spending to around four percent of GDP, according to estimates by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. The summit will focus on reviewing progress toward the goal of raising defense spending to five percent of GDP by 2035, a target set under strong U.S. pressure. While some European countries have concrete plans to increase their budgets, others lack specific strategies. U.S. President Donald Trump remains a central figure, as his actions will significantly influence the summit's outcome. His criticism of low defense spending in Europe has already sparked responses from leaders like Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who pledged to double Germany’s defense budget within four years.
