بريطانيا تخطط لزيادة الإنفاق الدفاعي

February 26, 2025 - قال رئيس الوزراء كير ستارمر إنه سيزيد الإنفاق الدفاعي السنوي إلى 2.5% من الناتج المحلي الإجمالي بحلول العام 2027 وسيحدد هدفاً بنسبة 3% في البرلمان المقبل - وهو مستوى لم تشهده بريطانيا منذ التسعينيات.

On the eve of his departure to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, Starmer told parliament he was bringing the increase in defence spending forward to offer Europe more support as the U.S. spearheads peace talks with Russia over its war in Ukraine.

With public spending already stretched in Britain, Starmer said the increase from its current 2.3% would be fully paid for by a 40% cut to international aid, an announcement he said he was not happy to make but one which was necessary to offer Ukraine and Europe support in a "new era", according to Reuters.
