Telegraph: Великобритания повысит расходы на оборону до 2,5% от ВВП, чтобы улучшить отношения с США

UK to boost defense spending to 2.5% of GDP to mend ties with US

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to announce a major increase in defense spending, bringing it up to 2.5% of GDP.

The move is seen as an attempt to improve relations with the United States, which has been critical of the UK's defense spending in recent years.

The Telegraph newspaper reports that the announcement will be made in a speech to the Conservative Party conference on October 6.

The increase in spending would represent a significant increase from the current level of 2.2% of GDP, and would bring the UK's defense spending in line with that of other NATO members.

The move is likely to be welcomed by the Biden administration, which has been pushing for increased defense spending from its allies.

The US has been particularly critical of the UK's decision to cut its defense spending in recent years, and has argued that it needs to do more to meet its NATO commitments.

The increase in spending is also likely to be welcomed by the UK's defense industry, which has been lobbying for increased investment for years.

The move comes at a time of heightened tensions with Russia, and is likely to be seen as a signal that the UK is committed to defending its interests.

The UK has been one of the most vocal critics of Russia's actions in Ukraine, and has been supplying arms and training to the Ukrainian military.

The increase in defense spending is likely to be seen as a sign that the UK is prepared to take a more active role in defending its interests in the face of Russian aggression.
