NATO must make ‘quantum leap' of 400% in air, missile defence: Rutte
NATO members need to increase their air and missile defences by 400 per cent to counter the threat from Russia, the head of the military alliance plans to say on Monday. Secretary-General Mark Rutte will say during a visit to London that NATO must take a 'quantum leap in our collective defence' to face growing instability and threats, according to extracts released by NATO before Rutte's speech. Rutte is due to meet U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing St. ahead of a NATO summit in the Netherlands where the 32-nation alliance is likely to commit to a big hike in military spending. Like other NATO members, the U.K. has been reassessing its defence spending since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Starmer has pledged to increase British defence spending to 2.5 per cent of gross domestic product by 2027 and to three per cent by 2034. Story continues below advertisement Rutte has proposed a target of 3.5 per cent of economic output on military spending and another 1.5 per cent on 'defence-related expenditure' such as roads, bridges, airfields and sea ports. He said last week he is confident the alliance will agree to the target at its summit in The Hague on June 24-25. 2:03 U.S. pushes NATO for 5% defence spending while Canada fails to hit 2% target At the moment, 22 of the 32 member countries meet or exceed NATO's current two per cent target. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy The new target would meet a demand by President Donald Trump that member states spend 5% of gross domestic product on defence. Trump has long questioned the value of NATO and complained that the U.S. provides security to European countries that don't contribute enough. Rutte plans to say in a speech at the Chatham House think tank in London that NATO needs thousands more armored vehicles and millions more artillery shells, as well as a 400 per cent increase in air and missile defence. Story continues below advertisement 'We see in Ukraine how Russia delivers terror from above, so we will strengthen the shield that protects our skies,' he plans to say. 'Wishful thinking will not keep us safe. We cannot dream away the danger. Hope is not a strategy. So NATO has to become a stronger, fairer and more lethal alliance.' European NATO members, led by the U.K. and France, have scrambled to coordinate their defence posture as Trump transforms American foreign policy, seemingly sidelining Europe as he looks to end the war in Ukraine. Last week the U.K. government said it would build new nuclear-powered attack submarines, prepare its army to fight a war in Europe and become 'a battle-ready, armor-clad nation.' The plans represent the most sweeping changes to British defences since the collapse of the Soviet Union more than three decades ago.

Europe's rare earths renaissance: Leading Edge Materials deserves investor attention
In mid-April 2025, rare earth elements (REEs) surged into mainstream headlines, with major publications like The New York Times spotlighting their critical role in the global energy transition and geopolitical stability. As the world races to secure supply chains for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and advanced defense systems, Europe is stepping up with bold initiatives—and companies like Leading Edge Materials (TSXV:LEM) are in a frontrunning position to benefit. Solvay's leap: A new era for European rare earths A pivotal moment came with the inauguration of Solvay's new rare earths production line in La Rochelle, France. This facility, the largest outside China capable of separating all rare earth elements, now produces materials essential for permanent magnets—key components in EV motors, wind turbines, and more. This milestone aligns with the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act and Clean Industrial Deal, aiming to satisfy 30 per cent of European REE demand by 2030. Solvay's move is more than symbolic. It marks the beginning of the establishment of a European permanent magnet value chain, reducing dependency on China and reinforcing industrial sovereignty. The company is also partnering with emerging mining and recycling players to build a resilient, secure and sustainable supply chain. Leading Edge Materials: Europe's future heavy rare earth elements (HREE) producer Amid this transformation, critical raw materials stockLeading Edge Materialsstands out with two key 100%-owned assets in Sweden: the Norra Kärr HREE project and Woxna Graphite mine. Norra Kärr: Europe's most advanced HREE project Norra Kärr is a world-class deposit and the most advanced HREE project in Europe. Although it was not included in the EU's first list of Strategic Projects under the Critical Raw Materials Act, Leading Edge Materials will reapply and continues to make significant progress, having submitted a mining lease application in December 2024 and initiated Pre-feasibility workstreams. The company's Rapid Development Plan aims to fast-track production of HREE-rich eudialyte concentrate and nepheline syenite, an industrial mineral with applications in glass and ceramics. A phased development approach is under consideration to enable early cash flow through nepheline syenite sales, while stockpiling eudialyte concentrate or shipping to a third party for processing. Woxna: Built and permitted natural graphite mine The Woxna Graphite Mine, historically a graphite producer, is being evaluated for a potential restart of operations. Together with Norra Kärr, it positions Leading Edge Materials as a supplier of two strategically important critical raw materials essential for Europe's energy transition and defense industries. Why investors should take a closer look The convergence of geopolitical urgency, the need for supply chain diversification, European political support, and demand is creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for heavy rare earth elements and natural graphite players. Leading Edge Materials offers: Strategic location : Projects in Sweden, a stable EU jurisdiction, providing access to renewable power, excellent infrastructure, and working to highest ESG standards. : Projects in Sweden, a stable EU jurisdiction, providing access to renewable power, excellent infrastructure, and working to highest ESG standards.

Alignment with EU policy: Its projects directly support the goals of the Critical Raw Materials Act and the Clean Industrial Deal. A unique opportunity in heavy rare earth elements As Europe builds its rare earth elements value chain from mine to permanent magnet, Leading Edge Materials is emerging as a key enabler. With an advanced HREE project, a clear development strategy, and alignment with EU priorities, the company is well-positioned to benefit from the region's push for greater resource independence. Investors can find out more when the company releases its quarterly update later this month. For investors seeking exposure to the critical raw materials powering the energy and digital transitions, and essential for defense, now is the time to deepen due diligence into Leading Edge Materials.
