Would higher NATO defence spending demands from Trump make Britain safer?

NATO leaders meet in Ankara this week with President Trump pressing allies to raise defence spending sharply toward 5% of GDP, including 3.5% on core military and 1.5% on related security. The UK currently spends about 2.3% and has faced criticism for slow progress and delayed plans, even as intelligence warns Russia could attack a NATO member before 2030. Higher spending would fund better equipment, personnel and readiness for Britain’s armed forces.
