Other NATO members must contribute more to deal with the threats they supposedly face, the Pentagon chief has said

European NATO members must overcome their dependence on the US for security and increase their own military spending, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has said.

The US is prioritizing the protection of its own borders “after decades of securing other people’s borders in far-off places,” Hegseth stated on Wednesday. This shift in focus from the Pentagon comes alongside an “increased allied burden-sharing” in strategic regions, he added, as he summarized his first 100 days in office in a speech at the Army War College in Pennsylvania.

“We have obtained commitments from Poland – one of many model allies – the Baltics, to spend 5% of their GDP on defense,” Hegseth reported. He emphasized that NATO’s longstanding spending target of 2% “is not enough, considering the threats you face.”

The time of the United States… being the sole guarantor of European security has passed. It’s long overdue Europe has to step up, fund its military, and lead. NATO needs to step up.

Hegseth also stated that shifting the responsibility for military assistance to Ukraine onto European countries is part of the Pentagon’s realignment.

The EU plans to borrow hundreds of billions of euros to spend on militarization, asserting the need to deter Russia. Moscow denies any aggressive intentions toward NATO members.

French PM accuses US of abandoning Western values

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in a recent interview with French magazine Le Point, remarked that Europe has shot itself in the foot by following directives from former US President Joe Biden to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes” and to punish Russia with sanctions. It is now facing the repercussions of those decisions, Peskov believes.

“Europe cannot exist and be competitive without two key elements: affordable security and inexpensive energy,” he argued. “Europe used to enjoy security from the US at a low cost. And it received cheap energy from Russia.”

Peskov suggested that having lost both of these advantages, European nations are now facing deindustrialization and other economic challenges while stubbornly pursuing a failed policy, even as the administration of US President Donald Trump seeks to mediate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

The Trump administration has also clashed with various European nations over issues such as perceived unfair trade practices and Denmark’s management of Greenland, which the US has expressed interest in taking control of.
