At the recent Nato summit, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a commitment for the UK to spend 5% of its GDP on national security by 2035. This goal includes 3.5% for core defence and 1.5% for areas related to resilience and security. The target is partly a response to US pressure for increased spending and reflects changing geopolitical dynamics following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Starmer argues that economic and national security are intertwined, aiming to create jobs and stimulate growth through this strategy.
