BARCELONA: British Prime Minister Kier Starmer is set to make the case for Britain and its Western allies to launch a multinational defence initiative that could oversee joint weapons procurement and cut rearmament costs, the Financial Times said on Friday.
Starmer is expected to raise the idea at this weekend’s Munich Security Conference, the newspaper added, citing British government officials.
He is also set to call for closer cooperation in defence with allies in a speech on Saturday, as well as in private discussions with other leaders at the three-day event, it added.
