Nato defence spending target met, government insists

Only a handful of countries currently meet the 2% Nato target
The government has rejected a think tank's claim that it missed Nato's target of spending at least 2% of national income on defence.
In a new report, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) claimed spending had fallen to 1.98% in 2016 as a result of the British economy growing faster than the defence budget.
But a Ministry of Defence spokesman said its figures were "wrong".
It pointed out that Nato itself said the UK met the 2% target.
A spokeswoman for the alliance confirmed five countries - the UK, US, Poland, Greece and Estonia, met its target, which was set in 2006, last year.
Reality Check: Is the UK spending 2% of GDP on defence?
The UK has called on other countries to increase their spending, and US President Donald Trump has complained of European members failing to pay their fair share for collective defence arrangements.
