President Donald Trump is battling NATO allies over funding for the Cold War defense alliance, but it is a complex debate.
Defense spending is on the rise across most NATO states. But there are political and economic challenges to increasing defense spending for many, particularly in Europe.
The intangible and sometimes abstract strategic benefits of higher defense spending are hard to communicate to voters and opponents will often position it as a choice against, for example, more welfare spending or civilian infrastructure projects. There is also debate about how defense spending is measured because there is variation between states, making it harder to judge exactly whether each ally is meeting its commitment. It is a similar problem with variations in GDP calculations.
