Spain well short of NATO defense target, as Trump demands huge additional spending

76% Informative
Spain spends the least on defense of all NATO allies relative to the size of its economy.
The country spent an estimated $21.3 billion on defense last year , equating to 1.28% of its GDP.
That’s despite a pledge made by all NATO members in 2014 to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense.
U.S. President Donald Trump has demanded a large increase in defense spending by NATO allies.
