YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSir Keir Starmer has backed Donald Trump's calls for NATO countries to meet their spending targets on defence.
The Prime Minister told LBC's Nick Ferrari at Breakfast that the US president-elect was right to say that 'Europe needs to do more' on military expenditure.
Mr Trump, who will return to the White House in January, has urged the US' European allies to bolster military spending, and claimed it's unfair that Washington spends so much more on defence.
Starmer said he had been having 'constructive discussions' with Trump on a number of issues, including the military.
"As you know I met him a number of weeks ago," he told Nick. "I do think that when he says that Europe needs to do more, as a general proposition I think that’s right, and we should do more."
But he added that there was 'a huge amount of capability that we are doing together'.
