Journalists asked the prime minister whether he was not “entirely squaring with people” about if taxpayers would experience “pain” as a result of the increase in defense spending by 2030 and how it will be financed.
The prime minister stated that Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has carried out a “detailed exercise” that “gives us the confidence that we can release the savings needed” during his speech today in Berlin.
“We are making a choice to prioritise defence with both of those decisions, and I believe that’s the right thing to do,” he stated.
“The world is more dangerous now than it has ever been, whether we like it or not.”
