In 2024, France will reach the objective of 2% of GDP in military spending, recommended by NATO, says French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu. France has decided to double its military budget by 2030 compared to 2019.
“The real question now is not so much "to obtain this 2%, even if it is a subject which seems to fascinate many people, it is obviously to ensure that these 2%. of GDP are truly useful on the military field," he said.
