Framing Analysis
Donald Trump stated on July 2 that the U.S. relationship with NATO is one-sided and non-reciprocal, posting a chart on Truth Social showing U.S. defense spending exceeding that of other members. A NATO summit of 32 member states is scheduled for July 7-8 in Ankara. NATO leaders have agreed to raise defense spending targets to 5 percent of GDP by 2035, though sources differ on when this commitment was made.
