According to multiple European media reports, on the 9th local time, NATO Secretary-General Rutt warned member states to increase defense spending during talks with British Prime Minister Stamer in London, otherwise he would "start to learn Russian."
U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseyth also once again put pressure on NATO allies before attending the NATO defense ministers' meeting in Brussels on June 5, requiring countries to increase defense spending to increase their GDP from 2% to 5%, and said that this requirement must be achieved before the NATO summit in late June. U.S. President Trump has previously threatened that if U.S. allies' defense spending "does not meet standards", the United States "absolutely" may withdraw from NATO.
