David Cameron Urges NATO Members to Increase Defense Spending, Be More Assertive Against Adversaries
British Foreign Minister David Cameron will call on NATO members to meet their commitment of spending 2% of their GDP on defense and be more assertive towards adversaries in a speech on Thursday.
He will emphasize the need for NATO to outcompete, outcooperate, and outinnovate, and for Britain to strengthen existing alliances and form new partnerships.
Cameron will deliver this message at the UK's National Cyber Security Center, stating that the world is in a "battle of wills" and that all countries must prove their adversaries wrong.
The NATO summit approaching requires all members to meet their commitment made in 2014 to allocate 2% of their GDP towards defense spending.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the UK has announced an increase in defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030, which amounts to an additional £75 billion ($94 billion).
Britain, as an active supporter of Ukraine following the Russian invasion, will be emphasized by former prime minister Cameron as an example of nations not learning the necessary lessons from that conflict.
European countries are reluctant to increase defense spending despite war happening in the vicinity, according to British Prime Minister David Cameron.
He will argue that only Britain and the US have taken action against attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
Cameron will emphasize the need to be tougher and more assertive towards Russian President Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion, warning that doing too little, too late only encourages aggression.
