The head of the British Ministry of Defense announced an increase in the defense budget to 3% of GDP by 2034

British Defense Minister John Healey on Friday, May 30, announced an increase in defense funding to 3% of GDP by 2034.

As Healy said in an interview with The Times, the kingdom currently spends 2.3% of GDP on defense. According to the newspaper's sources, the British Strategic Defense Review (SDR), which the government will publish in June, says that the 3% defense spending figure will certainly be reached in 2034.

"In the next parliament, the country will spend 3% of our GDP on defense," Healy said.

According to him, he has "no doubts" about achieving this indicator. The next parliamentary elections in Britain are scheduled for 2029.
