The Spanish government is currently hindering the possibility of reaching a consensus on the approval of the percentage of military expenditures in NATO, ABC reports.
According to it, Madrid does not even agree with the principle of defining a percentage of defense investments over GDP. According to the publication, the NATO Defense Ministers on June 5 in Brussels will be the last before the alliance summit to be held in The Hague.
The obligation to approve the 5% of GDP should have already been finally made. According to the newspaper, although some countries openly talk about the difficulties of achieving this figure, Spain is the only state that is currently against it.
If the Kingdom Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez does not change his position, he will probably have to face US President Donald Trump at the Hague summit, the publication said. According to it, the main mission of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutse is now the maintenance of ties between the United States and European allies.
