UK defence funding will hit 5% of GDP by 2035, Starmer to tell Nato summit

New target includes 1.5% of spending on security related infrastructure such as cyber and border protection

The pledge would raise core defence spending to 3.5 per cent of GDP by 2035, with an additional 1.5 per cent on security related infrastructure such as cyber security and border protection.
