Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk supports U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for Europe to increase its defense spending, suggesting NATO countries raise it to 5% from the current 2%. Tusk argues that strengthening Europe is a friendly gesture, not adversarial. Trump’s stance has been consistent since his first term, urging Europe to contribute more to defense. Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy criticized Europe’s defense spending, despite Europe collectively providing more aid to Ukraine than the U.S., which remains the largest single donor.
