Keir Starmer, UK Defense Spending, NATO Military Readiness
Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a plan to reverse decades of British military decline by boosting stockpiles and building twelve new attack submarines. The United Kingdom pledged to raise defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, with a long-term goal of 3% by 2034, to signal readiness to Moscow and Washington. Starmer characterized the £15 billion investment in the sovereign warhead program as a way to create domestic jobs while securing the nation's nuclear deterrent.
