NATO Allies' Defense Spending Reports
This act requires the Secretary of Defense to submit annual reports to Congress on allied contributions to defense. The goal is to ensure the United States does not bear a disproportionate financial burden for European security. Citizens can thus better understand how common defense costs are distributed and what actions other countries are taking.
Key points
Annual reports will include detailed data on defense spending by NATO countries and those seeking membership, including their budgets and percentage of GDP allocated to defense.
Reports will also assess allies' contributions to military operations, their defense capabilities, reliance on U.S. support, and changes in defense spending.
