What this amendment would do

SA 3171, submitted by Mr. Kennedy, aims to add a new section to bill S. 2296 titled "Sense of Congress on NATO Member Defense Spending."

The purpose of this amendment is to express the following positions:

  • Congratulate President Donald J. Trump and NATO leadership for the new commitment to defense investment and the focus on collective defense.

  • Laud NATO members that spent more than 2 percent of their GDP on defense before the Hague Summit.

  • Strongly urge NATO leadership to compel members to follow the 5 percent GDP commitment for defense spending.

  • Call for all NATO allies to make sure non-traditional defense expenditures align with legitimate defense objectives.

  • Reaffirm the importance of NATO and the commitment of the United States Senate to a strong, capable, and united Alliance.
