UK Defence Spending Under Pressure Amid Trump’s Return
As Donald Trump makes a potential return to the White House, concerns about UK defence spending are escalating. The UK government aims to meet a 2.5% GDP target for defence, a goal last achieved in 2010. An additional £3 billion in funding was allocated, but long-term financial commitments remain unclear. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine adds urgency to the situation, with nearly £8 billion committed to support. Experts assert that enhanced funding and improved efficiency in spending are crucial to reinforce military readiness as global threats evolve.
