UK Defense Commitment Gains NATO Confidence | UK News

Nato chief Mark Rutte is upbeat about the UK’s defense spending pledge, confident British ministers are committed to a steady, credible path toward hitting 3.5% of GDP by 2035 — even if it won’t happen overnight. He praised the alignment between current and incoming leaders, noting that while exact plans await next year’s spending review, the commitment is solid. Rutte also stressed that funding defense shouldn’t come at the cost of welfare — instead, strong economic growth is key to balancing both national security and social programs. Drawing from his own political experience, he insists defense and social security are separate priorities, achievable only through robust economic expansion.
