Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2025

Debate

US National Security Strategy

Contribution

My Lords, I was in Washington DC last week with other members of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, and when the national security strategy was discussed with our fellow elected members in the US, their message was clear: that NSSs come and go, sometimes they are implemented and sometimes not, but we should judge by what Congress passes. Last week, the National Defense Authorization Act delivered an extra £8 billion to European defence and put a floor of some 76,000 US troops in Europe. While the Minister will not have done an assessment of the NDAA, will she write to me with that assessment and put a copy in the Library?
