Mark Rutte wants to avoid the scenes of 2016 when Donald Trump berated allies for not spending enough on defence.

Rutte proposed that Nato members spend 5% of GDP on defence - something Trump has openly called for.

The increase would more than double Nato members' current target of spending 2% .

The real test is not the commitment, but whether it delivers, says Rutte .
