UK Enhances Armed Forces Amid 'Deadly Quartet' Threats
TL;DR Summary
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has launched a "Strategic Defence Review" to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP, following a NATO summit. The review, led by former defence secretary George Robertson, aims to address urgent threats and modernize the UK's defence strategy, including support for Ukraine and maintaining the nuclear deterrent. This move counters Conservative Party criticisms of Labour's defence commitment.
