NATO: Finance

Monday 4th March 2024

Asked by: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Donald Trump’s comments about NATO members and spending on defence.

Answered by Earl of Minto - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

The UK’s commitment to NATO, and the principle of collective defence under Article V, is resolute. We expect all NATO Allies to come to the aid of others.

The UK has led the conversation on defence spending at NATO. Since the NATO Defence Investment Pledge, which Leaders agreed in Newport Wales in 2014, European Allies and Canada have invested heavily on Defence and will have added more $600 billion by the end of this year. Now is the time for all Allied and democratic nations across the world to ensure their defence spending is growing.
