STOCKHOLM, Sweden—Sweden is the newest NATO member, and it’s already outpacing more than half of its fellow member nations on defense spending.

“And of course, we did not join NATO just to get security guarantees, but also to be a security provider,” Swedish Minister of Defense Pal Jonson told The Daily Signal.

Sweden formally joined NATO in March 2024 and is already spending 2.5% of its gross domestic product on defense, outpacing 21 of its fellow members, including the United Kingdom, Hungary, France, and Canada. Sweden plans to spend 2.8% of its GDP on defense by the end of 2026, and 3.5% by 2030, five years ahead of the agreed defense spending minimum that was decided at the annual NATO summit in June.
