Currently, Germany spends about 2% of the gross domestic product, but even these obligations are often not fulfilled.

The German government has decided to significantly increase defense costs – up to 5% of the gross domestic product, which is over 215 billion euros per year. This was announced by Foreign Affairs minister Johann Vadiful after a meeting with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Turkey, informing the BILDs on Thursday, May 15.

Currently, Germany spends about 2% of GDP in defense, but even this level is not always observed. According to foreign policy and CDU defense policy, Roderich Kizvether, a new course means radical change in Germany security policy.

“This is a significant transfer of German politics to politics. We expect a gradual achievement of this goal no later than 2030. This will not happen right away, but it should happen,” Kizvether explained.

Increasing defense financing occurs against the background of pressure from the USA and NATO. By 2023, Germany should provide 10% of alliance defense efforts. Washington requires all NATO member countries to allocate 5% of GDP for defense, although many states are considered unrealistic work.

During the climax of foreign ministers, Nato Vadiful confirmed the support of the American position.

“We share Trump’s assessment is necessary,” he emphasized.

In the past, Rutte said most European countries would increase defense costs. He called an increase in the costs of “very good news” and re -emphasized the need for “more fair balance” in the United States.

Remember that NATO has recorded the greatest increase in defense costs since the Cold War
