That it is the sense of the Senate that— any citizen of a member country of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (commonly known as NATO) that is not meeting its commitment to spend 2 percent of its gross domestic product (referred to in this resolution as GDP) on national defense should not be allowed to hold any position within the leadership of NATO, including positions such as— the Secretary General of NATO; the Deputy Secretary General of NATO; any Assistant Secretaries General of NATO; the NATO Spokesperson; and any uniformed military leadership or command positions within the structure of NATO at the 2-star (OF–7) level or above; and any member country of NATO that fails to meet its commitment to spend 2 percent of its GDP on national defense should not be allowed to host any significant formal or informal meetings, conferences, or summits of NATO at the ministerial level or above, outside established routine corporate processes of NATO that direct military operations or coordination at a headquarters location, that would provide substantial economic benefit to the economy and enable the ability for that member country to receive international recognition, including— the NATO Summit; meetings of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs; NATO Parliamentary Assembly sessions; and the NATO Youth Summit or similar events.
