U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth intends to discuss increasing European allies' contributions to the alliance during a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels on June 18, Pentagon said, APA reports.

Hegseth will travel to Brussels on Wednesday to participate in the meeting.

“The Secretary will emphasize the urgent need for NATO allies to assume primary responsibility for non-nuclear security on the European continent by increasing defense spending to 5% of GDP, strengthening their defense industrial base, and deploying combat-ready forces,” the Pentagon said.
