UK July Election: Rishi Sunak Prioritizes War and Defense Amid Growing Global Threats
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasizes the significance of defense and war in his election campaign, against the backdrop of increasing global threats from Russia, Islamic extremism, and China. He criticizes Labour's Keir Starmer for perceived weakness on defense, and proposes raising defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030. The promise is questioned for its feasibility and adequacy given the current state of the British military.
