America’s commitment to Europe can no longer be taken for granted

Summary

This week was an important step forward for protecting our national security. Credit where credit is due, the Prime Minister is right to commit to increase defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP by 2027. But that step cannot be the final one. Not least because of our steadfast support for the Ukrainian people, their struggle and for President Zelensky personally. The exchanges in the White House on Friday are not where that conversation ends. We have honest differences with the Trump Administration, which must be resolved. Because there can be no doubt that we are today living through the most dangerous times we have seen since the worst moments of the Cold War, such as the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
