EXCERPTS:

In 2014, NATO was collectively spending $910 billion annually on defense, but in 2023, that figure is $1.1 trillion.

While U.S. defense spending has grown from $660 billion to $743 billion during that period, the defense spending of the rest of NATO has increased at a higher pace, from $250 billion in 2014 to $356 billion in 2023.

Some of that growth, however, was due to adding three new NATO members since 2017: Macedonia, Montenegro, and Finland.
