Prime Minister Keir Starmer says US President Donald Trump does not raise any issue with the UK’s defence spending during the NATO summit in Ankara. Speaking amid a summit atmosphere that is also shaped by Trump’s public criticism of the alliance, Starmer indicates the UK’s defence expenditure is not discussed as a point of contention between the two leaders. The Evening Standard reports that Trump’s remarks and attacks on NATO are prominent at the meeting, but Starmer’s comments suggest the specific topic of UK defence spending is not raised directly with the UK at the summit. The Belfast Telegraph also reports Starmer’s account that Trump does not raise “any issue” about UK defence spending at the NATO gathering. Overall, the reporting focuses on Starmer’s characterisation of the UK–US exchange at the summit: while Trump’s broader commentary dominates parts of the event, Starmer says there is no dispute raised with the UK about its defence spending level. The details of any wider NATO negotiations are not specified in the provided summaries.
