Starmer added that in the purity of the next parliament, it should be considered the likelihood of increasing defense costs to 3% of GDP.
Britain plans to spend 2.5% of GDP on defense needs by 2027. This is the biggest increase in defense costs from the Cold War. Britain’s Prime Minister Kir Starkmer, in a rare appeal to Parliament of the UK before leaving the United States for negotiations with Donald Trump, reported European Pravda.
According to Starmer, the country is facing the size of the generation, and he needs both the big -scale answers and complex decisions to see “in the lives of industries and in the British homes.”
He has announced the most parable -the same increase in defense costs since the Cold War.
“We will fulfill the obligations to spend 2.5% of GDP defense. But we will bring this goal to achieve this level in 2027,” Starmer said, adding that this means that since 2027 the UK will spend on defense Evening -to 13.4 billion pounds. In conjunction with the costs for intelligence agencies, the costs will be even 2.6% of GDP.
The prime minister added that in the purity of the next parliament, it is necessary to consider the possibility of increasing defense costs to 3% of GDP.
As Starmer noted, in connection with such changes, it will be necessary to cut off the budget for external aid – it must decrease from the current 0.5% of GND to 0.3% of GNI in 2027.
Remember that British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer confirmed that he was willing to help the world in Ukraine, putting the British troops in its territory.
