Britain has announced an extra £24.1 billion ($31.8 billion) in military spending, as part of the country’s biggest investment in defence since the cold war that ended 30 years ago in 1991.

The spending will be over the next four years, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the House of Commons on Thursday.
