I welcome the UK’s Defence Investment Plan. Stronger UK defence makes us all safer. This is a good step towards reaching the 3.5% of GDP on defence agreed in The Hague last year
Defence spending and production will be an important focus of the #NATOsummit next week

Cash is crucial, but you cannot stop a missile or a tank with a dollar or a euro.
We need to turn the cash into combat-ready capabilities, and fast. This is another top priority for the #NATOsummit in Ankara
