The UK is set to expedite defence contracts, according to finance minister Rachel Reeves, in a bid to bolster national security. Following US President Donald Trump's plea for Europe to increase its military capabilities, the UK has announced plans to boost defence spending. This move aims to enhance the country's defence equipment procurement process, ensuring the nation's security and stability. With a focus on rapid procurement, the UK seeks to strengthen its military presence, aligning with the global trend of increased defence spending and military modernisation. Key initiatives include accelerated contract awards and streamlined procurement processes.
