Donald Trump expects UK to honour defence spending pledge, says White House

The White House has stated that Donald Trump expects the UK to honour its existing defence spending pledge. This demand arrives as Sir Keir Starmer is scheduled to unveil a long-delayed investment plan specifically for the armed forces. The US president's expectation emphasises the importance of the UK meeting its financial commitments to military security while the British government finalises its strategic approach to funding and enhancing the capabilities of its national defence infrastructure.
