Europe can no longer rely on US defense funding Former British Prime Minister Starmer has urged a greater focus on Europe rather than the US. He stated that Europe needs a common security system as much as a single market, with Britain playing a central role. Starmer emphasized that Washington has signaled that it will no longer fully fund the security of European allies. "The old order is gone," he warned. However, this does not mean that the UK-US military and intelligence alliance is weakening. Europe must take much greater responsibility for its own defense.
