00:00Fact-checking Trump's Claims About NATO Allies' Defense Spending

00:04Donald Trump has made questionable claims about NATO Allies' defense spending

00:11during this meeting in the Oval Office with Polish President Karol Nawrowski.

00:15Poland was one of two nations that paid more than they were supposed to with NATO.

00:21I don't know if anyone knows that, but they were two nations,

00:23and Poland paid more than they were supposed to.

00:26NATO's 32 Allied countries are expected to spend 2% of their GDP on defense.

00:31Earlier this year, that target was raised to 5% of GDP by 2035 upon Trump's demands.

00:38Trump suggested Poland was among just two countries other than the US,

00:42previously hitting the 2% target.

00:44But what does NATO data tell us?

00:47In 2014, when the 2% target was agreed, just three countries,

00:51Greece, the UK, and the US itself were spending 2% of GDP on defense.

00:56Poland joined these three countries in hitting the target the following year,

01:00but its spending fell back below the benchmark between 2016 and 2019.

01:05Both Latvia and Estonia have been hitting the 2% target since 2018 and 2019, respectively.

01:12By 2022, the year Russia invaded Ukraine, seven Allies were meeting the target.

01:18It means that there has been no year in which Poland was among just two Allied countries other than the US,

01:23hitting the 2% target.

01:25If we are to understand that Trump was referring to current EU member states only,

01:29therefore excluding the UK, his claim does tread closer to reality.

01:33But we have to go back all the way to 2015.

01:36Poland has significantly ramped up defense spending since Russia invaded Ukraine,

01:41and is one of the alliance's biggest spenders.

01:43The data provided by NATO diverges from other sources due to the way both defense expenditure and GDP forecasts are calculated.

01:50But data from other major institutes, such as the World Bank, also contradict Trump's claim.
