Los miembros de la OTAN se reúnen esta semana para debatir más del doble de los objetivos de gasto en defensa, hasta el cinco por ciento. Pero un intercambio de mensajes entre el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, y el secretario general de la Alianza parece indicar que ya es un hecho.

The Hague

NATO allies are meeting to consider raising defence spending targets to 5% of GDP, a substantial increase from the current 2% goal. U.S. President Donald Trump shared a message from NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte suggesting that all members have agreed to the new target, though this has not been independently confirmed.

Canada has only recently committed to reaching the 2% target and is exploring how existing expenditures, such as investments in critical minerals, might count towards the higher goal. Some countries, including Spain and Slovakia, have expressed reservations about the 5% target. The proposed timeline for achieving the new spending level is likely to be ten years, with a review suggested for 2029.

Trump cree que aumentará el gasto en defensa de la OTAN

Es una reunión de 32 aliados, pero la atención se centra en uno solo, el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump y su exigente demanda de que los aliados aumenten el gasto en defensa hasta un exorbitante 5 por ciento del PIB. DONALD TRUMP, Presidente de los Estados Unidos de América, dijo, cuando fui a la OTAN, ellos estaban en quiebra cuando empecé con todo esto. Parece que fue hace mucho tiempo, nueve años, ¿verdad? Pero estaban arruinados. Lo supe inmediatamente. Dije, ustedes están quebrados. Trump publicó una captura de pantalla de un texto del secretario general de la OTAN, Mark Rutte, en el que insinuaba que el 5 por ciento es todo menos un acuerdo hecho, escribiendo, no fue fácil, pero los tenemos a todos firmados en 5 por ciento. Pero Canadá sólo se ha comprometido a alcanzar el objetivo del 2%. Tomemos la cifra del 5% del PIB, que es un número muy, muy grande. Una cantidad enorme. ¿Cuánto es en realidad para ti? El 5% de nuestro PIB serían unos 150.000 millones de dólares. Quiero decir, eso es mucho. Es un montón de... En una entrevista con la CNN, Carney insinuó cómo Canadá podría alcanzar esa cifra, utilizando los fondos existentes. planes y gastos. Canadá posee uno de los mayores y más variados yacimientos de minerales críticos. que Trump codiciaba. Vamos a desarrollarlos. Vamos a desarrollarlas en interés de Canadá. Parte del gasto para eso cuenta para ese 5 por ciento. Lo que están escuchando de nuestro país y de nuestro nuevo primer ministro es un compromiso sólido para garantizar que cumplimos con nuestras obligaciones. El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores de Canadá también propone una revisión del gasto en 2029, lo que ocurre el año en que Trump deja el cargo. Algunos aliados, como España y Eslovaquia, ya se resisten al 5%. Pero el Secretario General de la OTAN dice que es hora de pagar. Mi mensaje a mis colegas europeos es que dejen de preocuparse tanto. Empezad a aseguraros de que tenéis planes de inversión hechos. Esto es en lo que deberías trabajar. Un detalle clave que se desprende de esta cumbre es el tiempo que tienen los aliados para llegar a ese 5%. Carney dijo el martes que es probable que sea un plazo de 10 años.
