Britain invests billions – will arm the army
Great Britain must prepare for war to preserve the peace, says Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
On Tuesday, an increase in defense spending by 15 billion pounds will be presented.
The world is more dangerous and more unstable than in decades, says Starmer when presenting the new defense investment. The increase of 15 billion pounds takes defense spending to almost 300 billion pounds, equivalent to over 3,800 billion Swedish kronor, over the next four years, British media reports.
Starmer emphasizes that defense spending must not be a "bottomless pit".
- We can't just spend more. We have to spend better, he says.
According to Starmer, the initiative will be financed by postponing certain road and energy projects.
– This is about making the necessary decisions, making the right choices to protect our nation.
