Polish President urges NATO to boost defense spending<br /><br />During a joint White House visit with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, President Andrzej Duda urges NATO allies to raise defense spending to 3 percent of GDP, citing Russia's aggressive stance and ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Poland spends 4 percent of its GDP on defense, twice the current NATO target of 2 percent. Duda's call comes as Poland celebrates 25 years in the transatlantic military alliance, symbolizing its shift away from Moscow's influence after years of communist rule.<br /><br />Photos by AP <br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes <br />#worldnews <br />#poland <br />#ukraine
