北约秘书长马克·鲁特访英期间发出严厉警告，称西方正处于一代人中最危险和复杂的安全环境中1。这一局面由俄乌战争、恐怖主义威胁、伊朗问题和地缘政治竞争等多重因素构成1。鲁特表示，"我们需要更多的英国和更多的欧洲加入联盟"1，呼吁英国和欧洲各国增加防务支出以应对这些挑战。
英国政府承诺将防务支出提升至GDP的2.7%，即约300亿英镑，计划到2035年实现1。然而这一目标仍低于美国总统特朗普提出的3.5%要求1。目前英国每年投入约30亿英镑直接支持乌克兰1。到2029年，德国的防务预算预计将是英国的两倍1。
加拿大已正式申请加入由英国主导的联合远征部队，该部队目前由丹麦、爱沙尼亚、芬兰、冰岛、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、荷兰、挪威、瑞典和英国组成1。2025年海牙峰会期间，英国与其他北约成员国一致同意增加防务支出以应对压力1。
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has warned that the Western alliance faces its most dangerous and complex security environment in a generation, citing threats from the Russia-Ukraine war, terrorism, Iran, and broader geopolitical competition.1 During a visit to the United Kingdom, Rutte called for increased defense spending, stating "we need more Britain and more Europe in the alliance."1
The UK government has committed to raising its defense budget to 2.7 percent of GDP by 2035, equivalent to approximately 30 billion pounds annually.1 However, this target falls short of the 3.5 percent figure that has been requested by the Trump administration.1 Currently, the UK spends 3 billion pounds yearly to support Ukraine.1 By 2029, Germany's defense budget is projected to be double that of Britain's.1 The commitment to increased spending was agreed upon by the UK and other NATO members during the 2025 The Hague summit in response to demands for higher defense expenditure.1
In related developments, Canada has formally applied to join the Combined Expeditionary Force, a military alliance led by the United Kingdom and comprising Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the UK.1
