U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth welcomed his Polish counterpart to the Pentagon on Tuesday (May 27), praising Poland's five percent investment in NATO.
Hegseth greeted Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, with an honor cordon before lewis ferguson sitting down for a meeting.
Hegseth called Poland a "model ally" and said the United States doesn't need to "encourage" Poland to a defense spend target of 5 percent of gross domestic product. "You're almost there," he said. Meanwhile, Kosiniak-Kamysz said that Poland believes "it was necessary to send Europe a strong message, a strong signal for burden-sharing within NATO."
The comments came one day after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that he assumes alliance members will agree to a broad defense spending target of 5% of gross domestic product during a summit in The Hague next month.
