Trump Suggests NATO Could Expel Spain Over Defense Spending Dispute

Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez said previously that he would not commit to the 5% target, calling it ‘incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision’.

U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited tensions within the NATO alliance by suggesting that Spain could be removed from the 32-member defense pact over its refusal to meet a new military spending target.

Speaking at the White House alongside Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Trump criticized Spain for rejecting NATO’s recently adopted goal of allocating 5% of national GDP to defense. While most allies agreed to the sharp increase, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez argued the demand was “incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision.”

“Spain has no excuse not to do this,” Trump said. “Maybe you should throw them out of NATO, frankly”.

Spain, which joined NATO in 1982, reaffirmed its commitment to the alliance and insisted it continues to meet capability targets. Officials in Madrid pushed back on Trump’s remarks, stressing that the country remains a “full member of NATO in its own right.”

The comments highlight ongoing friction between Washington and European allies over defense contributions, a debate that has intensified since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. While NATO has no formal mechanism to expel members, Trump’s remarks underscore his determination to pressure allies into higher spending.
