Rishi Sunak has pledged to extend defence spending to 2.5 % of GDP by 2030.
On a visit to Poland, the prime minister mentioned the additional billions will put Britain’s defence trade “on a conflict footing” – and Nato members can’t count on the US alone to foot the invoice for defending the West.
He additionally introduced an additional half a billion kilos of army assist for Ukraine – in addition to boats, autos, missiles and ammunition.
