That the Senate— (1) agrees that the lack of sufficient progress towards 2-percent gross domestic product defense spending by member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (commonly known as NATO ) is politically and economically unsustainable; (2) views the failure of many of United States allies, including some of the largest member countries of NATO, to meet the 2-percent defense spending minimum has the potential— (A) to undermine support for NATO by the people of the United States; (B) to severely limit the ability of countries in Europe to contribute to a shared interest in defending against the Russian Federation; and (C) to become a source of long-term instability in Europe and frustration for taxpayers in the United States; (3) commends member countries, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, whose individual contributions constitute 10 percent or more of the NATO direct funding and programs budget; (4) commends member countries that have contributed significant weapons and equipment at substantial individual cost in support of Ukraine against the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the morally reprehensible destruction of civilian lives and infrastructure by the Russian Federation; (5) commends member countries, such as Greece, the United Kingdom, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia, that have taken strides to either meet or exceed the spending commitment; and (6) urges all member countries to prioritize defense spending and to meet their obligations to NATO.
