Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised NATO leadership on Saturday that the UK will publish its long-awaited military investment plan before the July summit in Ankara.
The commitment comes as new Defence Secretary Dan Jarvis faces pressure in Brussels after arriving at meetings without a finalized spending strategy. NATO and the U.S. are demanding "concrete and credible" pathways for members to reach higher spending targets, including a potential 5% of GDP commitment. The UK plan was previously stalled by internal funding disputes that led to the resignation of the former defense secretary last week.
Observers are now watching to see if the upcoming proposal will actually meet the multi-billion pound demands of the military or focus on gradual increases.
