Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the majority of NATO member countries have failed to meet their defense spending commitment and that the United States should not continue to subsidize the security of countries that choose not to invest in their own defense.

This resolution denounces NATO member countries that have not met their obligations under the 2014 Wales Summit Defense Spending Benchmark, a pledge by member countries to spend a minimum of 2% of their nation's gross domestic product on their defense. The resolution affirms that the benchmark is the best common defense to safeguard members in the event a mutual military response is warranted.

Bill 118 HRES 607, titled "Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the majority of NATO member countries have failed to meet their defense spending commitment and that the United States should not continue to subsidize the security of countries that choose not to invest in their own defense," is a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives.

The resolution highlights the issue of defense spending among NATO member countries, emphasizing that the majority of these countries have not met their commitment to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense, as agreed upon in the NATO alliance. The resolution argues that the United States should not continue to bear the burden of subsidizing the security of countries that do not prioritize their own defense investments.

The resolution calls on NATO member countries to fulfill their defense spending commitments and urges the United States to reevaluate its security assistance to countries that fail to meet these obligations. It also emphasizes the importance of burden-sharing among NATO allies and the need for all member countries to contribute their fair share to collective defense efforts. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 607 underscores the importance of NATO member countries fulfilling their defense spending commitments and calls for a reevaluation of the United States' role in subsidizing the security of countries that do not invest in their own defense.
