- Britain sets out a plan for future defense with a focus on drones and a fight over money
Britain's defense plan emphasizes drones and uncrewed systems but faces funding disputes between military leaders and the Treasury. The plan aims to increase defense spending to 3% of GDP by 2030, though current proposals fall short of defense officials' requests. Resignations of defense officials and pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump highlight tensions over NATO spending commitments.
