British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is trying to persuade Poland to sign a contract for the purchase of Swedish-made submarines, from which British companies will benefit. This was reported on November 14 by the Reuters news agency, citing sources. “Keir Starmer is lobbying Poland for a multibillion-dollar submarine purchase contract with the Swedish defense group Saab, which may include some deals with the British defense group Babcock,” the publication says. So, one of the representatives of the British government said that such export deals for the supply of military equipment bring Britain “billions of pounds.” “We are turning defence into an engine of growth, creating jobs and stimulating the UK economy, while strengthening our commitment to NATO allies and European security,” he said. According to Polish officials, a decision on the program may be made within a few weeks.

Earlier, on October 29, US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with South Korea, according to which the country would build a nuclear submarine for the United States instead of “old-fashioned diesel submarines.” According to him, Seoul has agreed to pay the United States $350 billion to reduce tariffs, as well as purchase large volumes of oil and gas, investing more than $600 billion in the American economy.
