新华社布鲁塞尔电（总台记者 张均匀）在最新一次北约国防部长会议上，美国再次对盟友施压，要求增加国防开支。面对美国的这一举动，各方猜测其背后的多重图谋。
会议期间，美国国务院及北约秘书长斯托尔滕贝格均对成员国发出了增加国防开支的呼吁。美国方面的强硬态度引发关注，特别是在当前乌克兰局势紧张的背景下，北约内部的国防开支争议显得尤为突出。
分析人士指出，美国逼迫盟友增加国防开支，一方面是为了确保北约的军事能力，另一方面也反映出美国对于当前国际秩序的担忧。面对中国和俄罗斯等国的崛起，美国试图通过强化北约，来维护其全球领导地位。
然而，并非所有成员国都愿意盲目跟进。一些国家认为，在经济增长放缓的背景下，增加国防开支可能会对国内民生造成影响。此外，部分成员国也对美国在乌克兰问题上的政策表示质疑。
在美国的强压之下，北约内部的裂痕愈发明显。未来，北约能否在国防开支等问题上达成一致，将是对北约团结和能力的重大考验。
英文标题：U.S. Pressures NATO Allies to Increase Defense Spending: What’s the Motive?

英文新闻内容：
BRUSSELS, Xinhua — During the latest NATO Defense Ministers’ Meeting, the United States再次 pressed its allies to increase defense spending. The move has sparked widespread speculation about its underlying motives.
During the meeting, both the U.S. State Department and NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg called on member states to boost their defense budgets. The U.S.’s firm stance has drawn attention, especially against the backdrop of the tense situation in Ukraine. The debate over defense spending within NATO has become particularly prominent.
Analysts say that the U.S.’s push for its allies to increase defense spending is aimed at two main objectives. On the one hand, it is to ensure the military capability of NATO. On the other hand, it reflects the U.S.’s concerns about the current international order. Facing the rise of countries like China and Russia, the U.S. is trying to maintain its global leadership through the strengthening of NATO.
However, not all member states are willing to follow blindly. Some countries argue that increasing defense spending may impact domestic livelihoods amidst slowing economic growth. In addition, some members question the U.S.’s policy on Ukraine.
Under the strong pressure from the U.S., the cracks within NATO are becoming more apparent. The future of NATO’s unity and capability will be severely tested as it faces the challenge of reaching a consensus on defense spending.
