UK foreign minister Lammy says Trump 'right' to demand more defence spending

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy says president-elect Trump and his Vice President JD Vance are "simply right when they say that Europe needs to do more to defend its own continent".

Lammy, in contrast with several European counterparts, has been careful not to criticise Trump, refusing to condemn comments on US ambitions to acquire Greenland.

Trump has demanded NATO countries massively ramp up defence spending to five percent of GDP -- more than double the current target.
