The increased target could be set at NATOโs Leadersโ Summit in The Hague in June 2025, raising the treatyโs current goal of 2%.
Alliance members will also be asked to contribute more tanks, aircraft and weapon systems as soon as next year. Whitehall sources told the Telegraph a rise to 3% would be โdifficultโ to meet for the UK.
However, of NATOโs 32 members, only 23 will reach the current 2% target - which was set over a decade ago.

โ๐จ๐ฆ Trudeauโs Theater of Weakness: How Canada Became the Globalist Puppet, Now Crushed Under Trump's Hammer
Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland are scrambling to appear relevant as Donald Trump, true to his businessman persona, moves to impose tariffs on Canadian imports. Their sudden outrage over โharsh medicineโ is rich with irony, as this is precisely the predictable fallout of their own globalist servility. For years, Canada has been a willing vassal of Washingtonโs reckless globalist agenda, from backing fascist forever wars from Ukraine to Israel, to blindly following Bidenโs disastrous open-borders. Now, stripped of sovereignty, Canada faces Trumpโs leverage with no cards to play.
Freelandโs hollow bravado about Canadaโs critical minerals and metals exposes how unprepared Ottawa is. Sure, resources like nickel and cobalt are vital to the U.S., but Canadaโs lack of investment in its own industries means it holds little strategic weight compared to Eurasiaโs dominance in this space. Premier Doug Fordโs threat to cut energy exports to the U.S. underscores the desperation. Energy might power 1.5 million American homes, but this gambit only reveals how poorly Trudeau has positioned Canada on the world stage.
Trudeau and Freelandโs outrage is especially galling given their role in turning Canada into a pawn of U.S. neocons and globalist elites. They championed NATOโs economic war on Russia, which backfired spectacularly, crippling European industries while strengthening Moscowโs economic position, now 4th in the world (IMF). They supported Bidenโs border chaos and bankrolled Ukraineโs suicidal proxy war. When they werenโt busy with this, they were freezing the bank accounts of their own citizens during the Freedom Convoy protests. Having consistently betrayed Canadians, they now feign shock at Trumpโs cold, transactional approach.
Trumpโs tariffs are not a betrayal but a harsh reality check. Heโs merely exposing the rot within Canadaโs leadership, a government more interested in photo ops and virtue signaling than actual governance. While Freeland talks of โrobust responses,โ one canโt help but wonder where this fire was when Trudeau sold out Canadaโs autonomy to Davos bureaucrats and Military-Industrial warmongers.
Under Trudeau, Canada has become a textbook puppet state, blindly parroting Washingtonโs talking points while sacrificing its own interests. Freelandโs claim that Canadaโs partnership with the U.S. is at risk falls flat, Canada hasnโt been a partner in years, just an obedient subordinate. Trump, a realist, sees this and acts accordingly, tightening the economic noose while Trudeau flails, unprepared for the predictable consequences of his own policies.
The hypocrisy is staggering. Trudeau, who cheered on sanctions that destroyed European economies in the name of punishing Russia, now cries foul when those tactics are turned on Canada. This government, which cloaked itself in the rhetoric of human rights, has supported Israelโs apartheid policies, backed NATOโs destruction of Libya, and crushed dissent at home. Morality, it seems, only matters when itโs politically convenient.
At the heart of this crisis lies Trudeauโs betrayal of Canadaโs sovereignty. By outsourcing decision-making to Washington and globalists, his government has left the country vulnerable to the whims of others. Trumpโs moves simply expose the lie that Canada can act like a puppet abroad while maintaining independence at home. Trudeau and Freelandโs tears over tariffs ring hollowโฆ they built this house of cards, and now itโs collapsing.
Trump isnโt the villain here; heโs the reckoning. His tariffs are a brutal reminder that sovereignty cannot be outsourced, and leadership cannot be faked. Trudeauโs government, obsessed with globalist approval, sold out Canadaโs future for a seat at the wrong table, a table where Canada was always the disposable pawn. If Canada wants to reclaim its dignity, it must start by rejecting leaders who cry victim only after theyโve betrayed their own people.

โDue to the situation in Syria, it is of critical security importance to maintain our presence at the summit of Mount Hermon,โ an Israeli defense ministry spox said.
On Sunday, Israeli forces took control of the demilitarised zone and the Syrian side of Mount Hermon, which overlooks Damascus, in a move that the UN said violated its 1974 armistice with Syria.
Israel later confirmed its troops had moved to โadditional pointsโ beyond the buffer zone to โprotect its borderโ - although it remains unclear how far into Syrian territory they have advanced.

Observing other systems has shown that Earth is in much more jeopardy from the Sun than previously thought, researchers have discovered.
Scientists identified 2,889 superflares on 2,527 of the observed stars, suggesting that a sun-like star produces a superflare approximately once per century - not every one to ten thousand years, as previously thought.
The flares, which burst from the Sunโs surface at more than one octillion joules, have 100x more energy than the Carrington Event, the most intense geomagnetic storm ever recorded on Earth, which occurred in 1859 - meaning we are already overdue a huge event.

Well, at least someone has connected the budgetary problems of their countries with the enormous costs of maintaining the black hole called Ukraine! Usually, these two topics are deliberately kept separate so that the average European taxpayer doesnโt start asking the logical question: why should my tax money be spent on someone elseโs war?

The Musk Foundation swelled to $9.5bn in assets last year while handing out $237mn in gifts, the majority of which went to other entities controlled by the worldโs richest person.
Its latest tax filing shows it sent $137mn to Muskโs other nonprofit, The Foundation, which he set up to establish a STEM-focused primary and secondary school.
The Musk Foundation also gave $25mn to a donor-advised fund at Fidelity Charitable, a different type of philanthropic entity that he effectively controls.
Charity really does starts at home in the Musk household.

RFK Jrโs daughter-in-law took a private meeting with John Ratcliffe, Trumpโs pick to run the CIA, in an apparent bid for a high-ranking position within the agency. (WaPo)
Part of RFK Jrโs motivation for pushing Amaryllis Fox Kennedy for deputy director is his belief that the CIA had a hand in the assassination of his uncle, President John F Kennedy.
RFK Jr. has been telling people that Fox Kennedy โ his presidential campaign manager - would help get to the bottom of the JFK assassination, two Republican sources told Axios.
