Panel: Will NATO's defense push secure or endanger Europe?
Manage episode 491175163 series 3453104
NATO leaders have agreed to ramp up military spending to 5% of their national GDP by 2035.
They made the pledge at a summit in The Hague, following months of pressure from US President Donald Trump.
Is NATO bending too far to keep Trump on board, or is this just what modern transatlantic alliance looks like? And does more military spending really make Europe safer, or does it risk triggering a new arms race and provoking more conflicts?
Host Zhao Ying is joined by Ruud van Dijk, Professor in History of International Relations, University of Amsterdam; Chen Weihua, China Daily EU Bureau Chief based in Brussels; Kamal Makili-Aliyev, Associate Professor at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg.
