United Kingdom transport minister Grant Shapps, also running for the country's next prime minister, stated in an article for The Times that the British defense spending must be raised to 3% of the total gross domestic product (GDP).
"As prime minister, I will raise defense spending to 3% of GDP, in contrast to the Nato-recommended minimum of 2%," Shapps underlined.
Yesterday, the UK's Conservative Private Members' Committee Chairman Graham Brady announced after the meeting of the 1922 Committee, that the United Kingdom will most likely have a new prime minister by September 5.
