U.K. to Strengthen Nuclear Deterrence Under New Defense Strategy
By: Cristina Gallardo for the WSJ
The U.K. will build up to 12 nuclear-powered attack submarines and spend 15 billion pounds ($20.18 billion) on its nuclear-warhead program, as part of a decade-long defense strategy.
Shares in British arms makers such as Babcock International and BAE Systems were lifted by the publication of the U.K. Strategic Defence Review on Monday, which calls for Britain to move to “warfighting readiness to deter threats and strengthen security” in the Euro Atlantic area. “We will build a fighting force that is integrated and more lethal than ever,” U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said during a visit to a BAE Systems shipyard in Scotland on Monday morning.
