UK PM pledges to spend 2.5 percent of GDP on defence by 2027 • FRANCE 24 English

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged Tuesday to boost defence spending to 2.5 percent of the economy by 2027, as uncertainty reigns over US President Donald Trump's commitment to European security. Starmer expressed an intent to eventually reach three percent, a rise of 0.7 percent from current spending that would mark the biggest increase since the end of the Cold War. His announcement comes ahead of key talks on Ukraine with Trump in Washington on Thursday.
