Boris Johnson has announced plans for the UK to increase defence spending by the end of the decade.
The Prime Minister made the promise that the UK will be spending 2.5 per cent of gross domestic product on defence by 2030 just days after dropping a manifesto commitment to increase the armed forces budget every year.
Speaking at the end of the Nato summit in Madrid, Johnson would only commit to increasing the amount the UK spends on defence by the end of the decade.
