UK defense secretary resigns, saying the government is not willing to spend enough on the military
UK Defense Secretary John Healey resigned, citing insufficient military spending by the government amid rising threats. He criticized the delayed Defense Investment Plan, which aims to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027 and 3% by 2035, as inadequate. General Richard Barrons and others argue the plan weakens NATO credibility and increases vulnerability.
