Defence Secretary Healey to meet Norway's minister as Europe faces security concerns
Defence Secretary John Healey will meet with Norway's Defence Minister Tore Sandvik amid rising security concerns in Europe. This follows calls from the U.S. for NATO allies to increase their defense spending. Recent talks between the U.S. and Russia regarding Ukraine did not include Ukraine or European nations. U.S. officials are urging European countries to take on more financial responsibility for supporting Ukraine. Healey noted that plans for a U.S. security guarantee for Ukraine are being developed. He emphasized the need for European nations to increase their defense spending, while acknowledging potential tax increases to support this goal.
