Murray featured in CNBC on fundamental changes to UK and NATO defense spending.

By Atlantic Council

On June 2, Rob Murray, non-resident senior fellow at Forward Defense and the Transatlantic Security Initiative, appeared on CNBC to advise on a radical rethink of deterrence from a European perspective. Murray states that the architecture behind defense financing has been uniquely designed for peacetime, so the European financial community will have to rework their financial alliance to maximize each other’s national security interests.

Forward Defense develops and shapes policy solutions that build US military power to deter war and secure the future.

The Transatlantic Security Initiative aims to reinforce the strong and resilient transatlantic relationship that is prepared to deter and defend, succeed in strategic competition, and harness emerging capabilities to address future threats and opportunities.
