The United Kingdom announced a plan Tuesday to increase its defense spending in an overt signal to President Donald Trump, who is expected to welcome Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the White House later this week.

Starmer told Parliament that the U.K. would increase its defense spending from 2.3% of the gross domestic product to 2.5% by 2027, with another goal of hitting 3% by the end of the next government’s term, which would be 2034 at the latest.
