SRES 491 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution commending the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's adoption of regional plans and encouraging allies to align resources.

This resolution commends NATO's 2023 Vilnius Summit adoption of comprehensive regional defense plans and urges all NATO allies to align their defense spending with these plans, specifically maintaining or exceeding the 2% of GDP defense spending target. It supports allies meeting this target (with 11 members doing so as of 2023), encourages continued resource allocation for new equipment, and calls for swift ratification of Sweden's NATO membership. The resolution is a non-binding expression of support from the U.S. Senate, not a policy change affecting specific groups or requiring new funding.
