Poland: NATO needs a decade to hit Trump’s defense goals

Poland's Defense Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that NATO countries would need 10 years to meet Donald Trump's proposed defense spending target of 5% of GDP, though he supported the idea itself.

Reaching Trump’s goal “will take another decade, but I think he should not be criticised for setting a really ambitious target because otherwise there will be some countries that will continue to debate whether more spending is really needed,” he said in an interview with the Financial Times.

He also ruled out the deployment of Polish troops to Ukraine, emphasizing "the border states are not the ones who should in any way appear with their troops in Ukraine".
