NATO finds leeway on defense spending goal
The Big Story NATO leaders on Wednesday agreed to a major defense spending increase while leaving room for some alliance countries to not hit the new spending goals thanks to very particular wording. © AP 'Allies commit to invest 5% of GDP annually on core defense requirements as well as defense-and security-related spending by 2035 to ensure our individual and collective obligations,' the 32 leaders of the alliance said in a statement that pointedly did not specify 'all allies' had committed to doing so. President Trump since his first term has pressured NATO countries to commit more of their annual GDP to military spending as the United States looks to shift its attention from security priorities in Europe to the Indo-Pacific and Middle East. NATO's biggest-spending member, Washington, since early this year has insisted alliance countries must up their defense dollars from the 2 percent goal set in 2014 to the ambitious 5 percent. But the goal seemed to be a stretch given that nine of the 32 NATO member countries have yet to reach the earlier 2 percent goal. With vague diplomatic language, however, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has claimed he delivered on Trump's spending demands. 'For too long, one ally, the United States, carried too much of the burden of that commitment. And that changes today,' Rutte said at the end of a meeting of NATO leaders Wednesday. To hit the 5 percent goal — which countries have until 2035 to reach — allies agreed to split the spending among different buckets to easier reach targets: A review of spending is set for 2029 to monitor progress and reassess Russia's security threat, given its ongoing war in Ukraine and overt threats to alliance members should they interfere in the conflict. But several countries have made clear they will not be meeting the new targets as they are pressed by economic challenges — issues that could be made worse by Trump's global tariffs. Among the most vocal of those countries is Spain, which before the NATO summit officially announced that it cannot meet the 'unreasonable' goal by 2035. 'Not all allies are bound to the 5 percent target,' according to a statement from the Spanish government ahead of the summit.

Trump gets ‘golden share' power in US Steel buyout. US agencies will get it under future presidents
HARRISBURG, Pa. — President Donald Trump will control the so-called 'golden share' that's part of the national security agreement under which he allowed Japan-based Nippon Steel to buy out iconic American steelmaker U.S. Steel, according to disclosures with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The provision gives the president the power to appoint a board member and have a say in company decisions that affect domestic steel production and competition with overseas producers. Under the provision, Trump — or someone he designates — controls that decision-making power while he is president. However, control over those powers reverts to the Treasury Department and the Commerce Department when anyone else is president, according to the filings. The White House didn't immediately respond to questions Wednesday about why Trump will directly control the decision-making and why it goes to the Treasury and Commerce departments under future presidents. Nippon Steel's nearly $15 billion buyout of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel became final last week, making U.S. Steel a wholly owned subsidiary. Trump has sought to characterize the acquisition as a 'partnership' between the two companies after he at first vowed to block the deal — as former President Joe Biden did on his way out of the White House — before changing his mind after he became president. The national security agreement became effective June 13 and is between Nippon Steel, as well as its American subsidiary, and the federal government, represented by the departments of Commerce and Treasury, according to the disclosures. The complete national security agreement hasn't been published publicly, although aspects of it have been outlined in statements and securities filings made by the companies, U.S. Steel said Wednesday. The pursuit by Nippon Steel dragged on for a year and-a-half, weighed down by national security concerns, opposition by the United Steelworkers and presidential politics in the premier battleground state of Pennsylvania, where U.S. Steel is headquartered. The combined company will become the world's fourth-largest steelmaker in an industry dominated by Chinese companies, and bring what analysts say is Nippon Steel's top-notch technology to U.S. Steel's antiquated steelmaking processes, plus a commitment to invest $11 billion to upgrade U.S. Steel facilities. The potential that the deal could be permanently blocked forced Nippon Steel to sweeten the deal. That included upping its capital commitments in U.S. Steel facilities and adding the golden share provision, giving Trump the right to appoint an independent director and veto power on specific matters. Those matters include reductions in Nippon Steel's capital commitments in the national security agreement; changing U.S. Steel's name and headquarters; closing or idling U.S. Steel's plants; transferring production or jobs outside of the U.S.; buying competing businesses in the U.S.; and certain decisions on trade, labor and sourcing outside the U.S.

Takeaways from the Trump-dominated NATO summit
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — NATO's summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday has been described as 'transformational' and 'historic.' 'We're witnessing the birth of a new NATO,' Finland's President Alexander Stubb said. The 32 members of the world's biggest security organization endorsed a plan to massively ramp up defense spending, 'back to the defense expenditure levels of the Cold War,' as Stubb put it, driven by U.S. President Donald Trump and fears of the security threat posed by Russia. Here are some of the takeaways from the two-day meeting in The Hague. The nonbinding spending agreement means a steep budget hike for NATO's European members and Canada that will cost them tens of billions of dollars. It's a major revamp of the way NATO calculates defense spending. Until now, the allies had set a target of 2% of gross domestic product for their defense budgets. Now they'll be aiming for 3.5% by 2035. They'll now be able to include weapons and ammunition they supply to Ukraine in the equation, making the new target slightly easier to reach, but still difficult for Canada and a number of European countries with economic troubles. On top of that, the allies will dedicate 1.5% of their GDP to upgrading infrastructure — roads, bridges, ports and airfields — needed to deploy armies to the front. Money spent on protecting networks or preparing societies for future conflict can be included. Progress will be reviewed in 2029, after the next U.S. presidential election. Not everyone is on board. Spain officially refused the agreement. Slovakia had reservations. Belgium, France and Italy will struggle to meet the new target. The leaders reaffirmed their 'ironclad commitment' to NATO's collective defense clause, Article 5. In recent years, Trump had sowed seeds of doubt about whether the U.S. — NATO's most powerful member — would come to the aid of any ally under attack. Trump had appeared to condition that support on higher defense spending. With NATO's new spending pledge in the bag, he told reporters that 'I left there saying that these people really love their countries. It's not a ripoff. And we're here to help them protect their country.' He added that 'they want to protect their country, and they need the United States, and without the United States, it's not going to be the same.' After Russia invaded Ukraine by launching the biggest land conflict since World War II in 2022, NATO summits have largely focused on providing support to Kyiv. This summit was different. Previously, the emphasis was on Ukraine's membership prospects and on bringing it closer to NATO without actually joining. But the final summit statement this time made no such mention. Instead, the leaders underlined 'their enduring sovereign commitments to provide support to Ukraine.' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was at the venue. He dined with other leaders at the Dutch king's residence, held talks with several leaders and spent half an hour or so with Trump. NATO's plan was to focus the meeting only on Trump's pet cause, defense spending. Foreign ministers did meet on the sidelines with their Ukrainian counterpart in an official NATO-Ukraine Council. In a minor win for Ukraine, and for allies needing to persuade citizens that their governments must spend more on defense, Russia was identified as the standout of the 'profound security threats and challenges' facing NATO. If there were doubts that the United States runs NATO, the summit removed them. A very shortened summit and one-page statement were prepared to keep the U.S. president happy and focused. As Trump flew to the Netherlands, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte sent a text message gushing about him being on the verge of a great achievement and saying, 'Europe is going to pay in a BIG way, as they should, and it will be your win.' Trump posted the message on social media. Rutte said he wasn't embarrassed and that it was all true. After the meeting, Trump said he came to the summit seeing it as a political chore, but he was leaving convinced that the assembled leaders love the alliance, their own countries and, mostly importantly, the United States. He called NATO leaders a 'nice group of people' and said that 'almost every one of them said 'Thank God for the United States.''
