U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated Friday that North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member states should spend 5 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defense, while saying the United States should not.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, in a letter to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, said Spain 'cannot commit to a specific spending target in terms of GDP' at next week’s NATO summit in The Hague.
