Defence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment she has made of the compatibility of the US National Security Strategy with the UK's Strategic Defence Review.
Answered by Al Carns
It is for the US to answer questions about the specifics of their own National Security Strategy. The UK shares the US’s objectives of bringing the war in Ukraine to an end, strengthening Euro-Atlantic security, burden sharing through NATO and increased defence spending, which are all set out in our Strategic Defence Review. The Defence Secretary discussed this when he met with US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, in December. Our commitment to NATO and to European security is ironclad.
