NATO Allies Bows To Trump’s 5% Defence Spend Target Demand, Says US Defence Chief Hegseth

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability. #NATO #TrumpDefenseDemand #PeteHegseth #5PercentGDP #DefenseSpending #NATOSummit #MarkRutte #MilitaryBudget #GlobalSecurity #USDefense #EuropeanSecurity #HagueSummit #TrumpPolicy #NATOTargets #PentagonNews #MilitaryStrategy #EasternEurope #HardPower #NATOCapability #NATOGDPGoal Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

Mark Rutte’s Flip-Flop Game on Ukraine’s NATO Membership EXPOSED! |Critics SLAM NATO’s Mixed Signals

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has declared Ukraine's path to NATO membership ā€œirreversible.ā€ But this bold statement comes after months of wavering remarks from both Rutte and other Western leaders, who had earlier ruled out such a move. Critics argue that the alliance’s indecisiveness is dragging the war on, giving mixed signals to both Kyiv and Moscow. As Ukraine fights to survive, NATO's promises remain non-committal, raising questions about whether the ā€œirreversibleā€ path is real or rhetorical. Ukraine’s future hangs between hope and hesitation. #UkraineNATO #MarkRutte #NATOChief #UkraineWar #NATOExpansion #Zelensky #EasternEurope #SecurityCrisis #GlobalPolitics #Kyiv #Putin #RussiaUkraine #AlliancePolitics #UkraineNews #NATOSummit #RutteSpeech #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #InternationalRelations #WorldNews Also Read Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc Putin, Trump Will Speak On Tuesday About The War In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-trump-will-speak-on-tuesday-about-the-war-in-ukraine-4097635.html?ref=DMDesc An Uncertain Peace: How Trump And Putin Plan To End The Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/an-uncertain-peace-how-trump-and-putin-plan-to-end-the-ukraine-war-4096855.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~ED.420~GR.124~

Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization?

Who Is Geert Wilders? From ā€˜Moroccan Scum’ to ā€˜Ban the Quran’; Man Behind Europe’s Anti-Islam Agenda

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has long been one of Europe’s most polarizing figures. From calling Moroccans ā€œscumā€ to demanding a ban on mosques and the Quran, Wilders has built his political career on fierce anti-Islam rhetoric. But who is the man behind the controversies? Why does he command such influence — and fear — in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wilders’ rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics. #GeertWilders #IslamDebate #DutchPolitics #FarRightEurope #GeertWildersSpeech #AntiIslam #PVV #NetherlandsPolitics #WildersControversy #BanTheQuran #EuropeanElections #ImmigrationDebate #WildersVsIslam #DutchElections #IslamInEurope Also Read Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc Saddam Becomes Shivshankar: Muslim Man Converts To Hinduism To Marry Girlfriend Of 10 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/saddam-becomes-shivshankar-muslim-man-converts-to-hinduism-to-marry-girlfriend-of-10-years-4047465.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.125~

Political EARTHQUAKE in Netherlands | Govt FALLS as Far-right leader walks-out over migration policy

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has resigned after far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his PVV party from the ruling coalition, collapsing the fragile government just 11 months into power. Wilders quit over rejected proposals to deport refugees, shut shelters, and seal borders—measures legal experts say violate human rights laws. Coalition allies slammed him for prioritizing ego over unity. New elections are expected in October, as the Netherlands enters a political limbo amid growing tensions over immigration and national identity. #DickSchoof #GeertWilders #DutchPolitics #NetherlandsGovernment #CoalitionCollapse #PVV #ImmigrationCrisis #AsylumPolicy #FarRightExit #VVD #DutchElections #PoliticalTurmoil #WildersQuits #CaretakerGovernment #RefugeeDebate #EUHumanRights #NetherlandsNews #RadicalProposals #BBB #ParliamentCrisis #DutchPMResigns #OctoberElections #EuropeanPolitics #WildersControversy #AsylumLaw #UNRefugeeConvention #ImmigrationStandoff #FarRightEurope #WildersExit #GovernmentFall #BreakingPolitics Also Read Geert Wilders, Anti-Islamic Leader, Who Backed Nupur Sharma Over Prophet remark, To Be Netherlands' Next PM :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/geert-wilders-anti-islamic-leader-who-backed-nupur-sharma-over-prophet-remark-to-be-netherlands-3689045.html?ref=DMDesc Dutch Donald Trump Geert Wilders Wins Big in Netherlands Election :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/dutch-donald-trump-geert-wilders-wins-big-in-netherlands-election-gen-3688663.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.318~GR.124~
