UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that Britain was committed to spending five percent of its economic output on defence, in line with a pledge set to be announced by NATO at a summit in the Netherlands.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that a “complete and total” ceasefire between Israel and Iran will go into force with a view to ending the conflict between the two nations.

Donald Trump announced a complete ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, claiming a 12-day war would end imminently. According to Trump, the ceasefire would be phased in, with Iran halting hostilities first, followed by Israel. However, neither Israel nor Iran has confirmed the agreement, despite a recent escalation of conflict involving airstrikes and missile attacks.
