Dan Jarvis was appointed UK defence secretary after John Healey resigned last week and met NATO counterparts in Brussels before the Defence Investment Plan was published. The draft plan showed a 0.08% GDP rise through 2030 with no timeline for the government's 3.5% target by 2035. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth called for concrete spending roadmaps ahead of the 7 July summit.
