Speakers at a European security conference on Tuesday warned that Ukraine’s allies are running out of ammunition to give to Kyiv in its war against Russia.
One thread of these discussions at the Warsaw Security Forum was the need for NATO members to increase defense spending, an argument Donald Trump made years ago about the military alliance.
Speaking at a NATO summit in 2017, then-President Trump criticized NATO countries for not devoting more money to their defense spending. NATO members agreed in 2014 to use 2 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP) on defense, but at the time of Trump’s remarks, only the United States and a few other NATO allies had met the goal.
