NATO will show on Wednesday whether it can unite on a defense spending hike.

Allies have been corralled, cajoled and pressured to hike their defense expenditure from 2% to 5% of each member nation's gross domestic product by 2035 .

Some countries, such as Canada and Spain , have struggled to meet that threshold.

Spain , the lowest spender as a share of GDP in the alliance, is seeking an opt-out from the new target.
