## Resource

Britain’s defense minister John Healey resigned Thursday over a bitter dispute with Prime Minister Keir Starmer over military funding, accusing the government of falling short on resources needed to defend against global threats. The fallout stems from months of stalled negotiations between defense and finance departments, delaying a crucial national defense investment plan. Healey slammed the Treasury’s proposed budget as inadequate, saying it fails to match current security risks — a stance that’s left the defense industry scrambling, unable to plan long-term amid global instability and shifting U.S. priorities. With no clear resolution in sight, national security hangs in the balance as both military and industry leaders face mounting uncertainty.
