NATO defense ministers are preparing to announce new commitments on military spending as concerns grow over the alliance’s future and its ties with Washington. The move is expected to come during an emergency virtual meeting focused on strengthening Europe’s security posture.

According to Reuters, the talks will also center on closer coordination between the European Union and NATO. Officials are weighing steps that would help members expand defense budgets and improve readiness at a time of heightened pressure on the alliance.

The meeting comes amid sharper transatlantic tensions and renewed debate over burden-sharing. European governments have faced long-running pressure to spend more on defense, while allies continue to assess how to respond to shifting security threats.

No formal announcement had been made at the time of reporting, but the planned commitments suggest NATO members are trying to present a more unified front as they confront growing uncertainty on both sides of the Atlantic.
