On October 15, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth met with his United Kingdom counterpart, Secretary of State for Defence Wes Streeting, at the Pentagon. Secretary Streeting highlighted the United Kingdom's recently released Defence Investment Plan, which outlines increased British defense spending. Secretary Hegseth encouraged the United Kingdom to continue increasing defense spending further and faster to advance a fairer, stronger, and more sustainable NATO 3.0. Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Streeting discussed the Review of U.S. Force Posture and Basing in Europe and the opportunity it presents to ensure U.S. posture is aligned with the alliance we need—not the alliance of the past. Secretary Hegseth urged Secretary Streeting to continue supporting President Trump's objective of a durable peace in Ukraine and global security in the Strait of Hormuz.
