NATO countries will be urged to pump more cash into their armed forces when alliance leaders meet this summer, the coalition’s chief warned today
Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said he would press its 30 members to boost their defence budgets when leaders, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, meet in Lithuania.
Delivering his annual report at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Mr Stoltenberg said: “We are moving in the right direction but we are not moving as fast as the dangerous world we live in demands.”
