Current UK defence spending meets NATO's 2% GDP target but MP’s and defence officials argue it’s not enough.

Summary

  1. Increased military investment needed due to escalating global threats.
  2. Threats include Russian aggression, cyber-attacks, Iran and North Korea's nuclear capabilities, and tensions in the South China Sea.
  3. The target should be to reach 3% of GDP by 2030.
