UK to cut overseas development aid to fund defence spending hike
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces that the UK will cut overseas development aid from 0.5 percent of GDP to 0.3 percent to fund a boost in defence spending by 2027. "In the short term, it can only be funded through hard choices, and in this case, that means we will cut our spending on development assistance," Starmer tells lawmakers. SOUNDBITE
