"In turbulent times, NATO is our anchor of security. For Germany, taking responsibility is key: for Europe's security, the protection of NATO's eastern flank, and supporting Ukraine", Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said as she is meeting with her NATO counterparts in Brussels. Since 2014, Germany has been steadily ramping up its defense investments and contribution to NATO - and we're seeing the impact today. In 2024, defense spending has reached 2.12% of our GDP, reflecting a significant leap in our commitment to collective security. At the forefront of this strategic push is a nearly $100 billion fund solely dedicated to modernizing military hardware. These bold steps not only strengthen Germany but reinforce our dedication to NATO and the stability of Europe as a whole. #WeInvestInFreedom
