UK cabinet picks point to defense priorities

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham appointed former defense secretary John Healey as finance minister, signaling a focus on increasing military spending to 3% of GDP by 2030. Healey, who previously criticized Keir Starmer for not committing to this defense target, will now lead efforts to achieve it. Ed Miliband, a former energy chief, was named foreign secretary, a move that may strain UK-US relations due to his past role in resisting US involvement in Iran.
