London – British Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants to increase defense spending by 18 billion pounds (around 20.6 billion euros). Approval of the plan is expected next week, the newspaper reported The Times on Friday. This would end months of delays and internal disputes. A government spokesman told the Reuters news agency that the investment plan is currently being finalized and will be published as soon as possible. The aim is to quickly supply the troops at the front with equipment and technology while at the same time promoting economic growth.
