 In an Oct. 15 speech in Chicago, UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw warned European countries they must raise defense spending to counter world threats and maintain harmony with the U.S.
Straw warned that Europe's armed forces must play an effective part in the NATO alliance, alongside the U.S., and that Europe was offering an increasingly inadequate response" to rogue states and international terrorism.
