David Lammy emphasized the urgency for NATO allies to increase their defence spending, particularly in response to threats posed by Russia’s actions in Ukraine and broader geopolitical instability. He asserted that, in light of Donald Trump’s critical view on European reliance on US security support, European nations must take their defence budgets seriously. Failure to address these financial commitments could leave them vulnerable during these increasingly dangerous times.
In addressing NATO foreign ministers, Lammy called for decisive action regarding national defense budgets, particularly noting the implications of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. With the geopolitical landscape shifting and rising tensions due to military aggressions, he stressed that it was crucial for European NATO members to ensure they are not overly reliant on American support, hinting at the need for a more independent and robust European defense strategy.
