Prime Minister Keir Starmer Makes Defense-Related Visit In The North West Of England

BARROW-IN-FURNESS, ENGLAND - MARCH 20: The HMS Agamemnon nuclear submarine is seen docked at the BAE systems factory on March 20, 2025 in Barrow-in-Furness, United Kingdom. The UK's existing nuclear deterrent program, or continuous at sea deterrent (CASD), is comprised of four Trident missile Vanguard Class Submarines, which are set to be replaced with four new Dreadnought Class submarines. Recently, the UK has come under pressure to decrease its dependence on America for the manufacturing and maintenance of its nuclear program, as US President Donald Trump casts doubt on the future of a US commitment to the NATO alliance.
