Germany is leading Europe’s military buildup with plans to make the Bundeswehr the strongest conventional army in the region. Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul announced major defense spending increases, including a commitment to invest 5% of GDP—3.5% on military capabilities and 1.5% on defense infrastructure. This move reflects alignment with NATO goals and U.S. expectations, especially those previously set by former President Donald Trump. Other EU countries are also escalating military efforts, and final defense investment plans across NATO are expected to be revealed during the summit in The Hague in late June.
