UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will vow to spend 5% of British economic output on security by 2035, embracing an ambitious NATO target sought by President Donald Trump without providing a path on how to get there. After weeks of refusing to be drawn on the matter, the premier will make the new commitment on Tuesday at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's summit in The Hague, The Netherlands, according to a statement from his office. There, leaders are due to adopt the alliance's new 5% goal, up from 2% currently, which includes 3.5% to be spent on core defense and 1.5% on related security expenditure.
