UK PM says government must 'go faster' on defence spending

LONDON, Feb 16 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Monday the government must "go faster" on defence spending, when asked about a media report suggesting it was considering bringing forward the date by which it would spend 3% of economic output on defence.

"We need to step up...we need to go faster (on defence spending). We've obviously made commitments already... but it goes beyond just how much you spend," Starmer said.
