UK vows to spend 5% of GDP on national security by 2035

The UK pledges to spend 5% of GDP on national security by 2035, with 3.5% allocated to core defense and 1.5% to areas like resilience and security. This commitment comes amidst pressure from Nato allies, including US President Donald Trump, to increase defense spending. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasizes the importance of economic security as national security and plans to bring societal benefits and job growth through this strategy. This move aligns with Nato's goal to boost defense investments following global geopolitical shifts.
