Main provisions of the bill

The resolution calls on NATO member countries to fulfill their pledge to spend 2% of their GDP on defense spending, which was agreed to at the 2014 Wales Summit.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If passed, this resolution would not directly change any laws or policies. However, it would put political pressure on NATO member countries that have not yet met the 2% defense spending target, potentially leading them to increase their military budgets. This could affect government spending priorities and resource allocation in those countries.
