👉 NATO members to spend 5% of GDP on defense, a significant increase from the current 2% target
👉 Rutte's proposal allows for 3.5% of GDP to be spent on core defense, with the remaining 1.5% on 'defense-related expenditure'
👉 US expected to sign up to the new target, but the real test will be whether nations meet the target over time
