British Defense Secretary Says UK More Committed to NATO Post Brexit

Posted: July 21st, 2016

Britain will be more committed to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its bilateral relationships – particularly with the U.S. – post-Brexit, said Britain’s Secretary of Defense Michael Fallon in Washington on Thursday.

The UK has “no stronger bilateral relationship than that with the U.S.” and together, the UK and U.S. will lead the world in security, said Fallon at an event hosted by The Cohen Group.  He expects Britain will work more closely with the U.S. on tomorrow’s technologies – automated weapons systems, for example – to ensure security.
