Transcript

00:00When it comes to NATO's stance on Iran's nuclear program, allies have long agreed that Iran

00:16must not develop a nuclear weapon.

00:20Allies have repeatedly urged Iran to meet its obligations under the Non-Proliferation

00:25Treaty.

00:26Having these stockpiles that we can deter aggression from any threat, really, let's focus on the

00:34essentials here.

00:35My biggest fear would be for Iran to own and be able to use and deploy a nuclear weapon.

00:41It will be a stranglehold on Israel, on the whole region and other parts of the world.

00:46And that is why NATO has said Iran should not, and this is a consistent position of NATO,

00:52Iran should not have its hands on a nuclear weapon.

00:59And I would not agree that this is against international law, what the US did.

01:03Okay.

01:04We'll come back to this side.

01:06The woman in the dark hair and the dark...

01:08The defense investment plan that allies will agree in The Hague introduces a new baseline,

01:155% of GDP to be invested in defense.

01:20This is a quantum leap that is ambitious, historic and fundamental to securing our future.

01:27Here in The Hague, allies will reaffirm our ongoing support.

01:32But let me give you a few examples of what we will invest in.

01:36A five-fold increase in air defense capabilities.

01:41Because we see Russia's deadly terror from the skies over Ukraine every day.

01:46And we must be able to defend ourselves from such attacks.

01:50Thousands more tanks and armored vehicles.

01:53Because even though warfare is changing fast, we still need to be able to protect our soldiers

01:59on the battlefield.

02:00And to maneuver.

02:01Could you please tell us, what is this assessment based on?

02:06So as leaders begin together for the NATO summit here, this is our focus.

02:13Ensuring that we have all we need to deter and defend against any threat.

02:20Of course, the most significant and direct threat facing this alliance remains the Russian

02:26Federation.

02:28Moscow continues to wage war against Ukraine, with the support of North Korea, Iran and China,

02:37as well as Belarus.

02:38Ukraine are free to spend as much money as they want, as long as they guarantee it.

02:45Our support for Ukraine is unwavering and will persist.

02:51And we have, I can announce that now, new estimates showing that our European and Canadian

02:55allies have stepped up and have already pledged where we originally would have been able to

03:02announce a 20 billion over the first three months of this year.

03:05It is now, they will provide over 35 billion euros of additional security assistance to Ukraine

03:12for the year ahead.

03:14Thank you very much.

03:16Thank you very much.

03:17Mr. Rutter.

03:18There is widespread agreement within NATO that at this moment, today, if Russia would

03:25attack us, our reaction will be devastating and the Russians know this.

03:29But there is great worry in many circles of NATO.

03:31We have heard the chief of defense in Germany a couple of weeks ago and many other senior

03:35military leaders speaking about this and also senior intelligence community people speaking

03:40about this, that between three, five, seven years from now, Russia will be able to successfully

03:45attack us.

03:46We do not start investing more today.

03:48I will come back to the side of the room.

03:49The gentleman here in the front row in the dark suit.

03:53We are an alliance where we fight together and, if necessary, where we also suffer and

03:58die together for our collective defense.

04:00And I have always had the highest respect for Spain's contribution to NATO.

04:05They are active all over NATO territory in many missions.

04:09And Spain has also agreed with the targets.

04:12The fact is that Spain thinks they can achieve those targets on a percentage of 2.1%.

04:18NATO is absolutely convinced, NATO is absolutely convinced, Spain will have to spend 3.5% together.

04:24At all, obviously, NATO is constant.

04:29NATO has no opt-outs.

04:31And NATO doesn't know side deals or side, yeah, side deals.

04:36So that's on the particular question you ask about Spain.

04:40You will feel to stay attacked.

04:41That is what NATO will do.
