British officials stated that cyber attacks, terrorism, inter-state conflict, and natural hazards are the main threats to British security. The government emphasized the dangers posed by groups like al Qaeda and Northern Ireland-linked organizations in a new National Security Strategy. This strategy aims to show that the upcoming military review is policy-driven rather than solely focused on budget cuts. The UK is facing a significant budget deficit while also striving to maintain its strong military presence in Europe and remain a valuable ally to the United States. The National Security Strategy report outlines clear priorities including counter-terrorism, cyber security, international military crises, and disaster response. Insurgencies abroad that could lead to terrorist attacks in the UK were classified as a lower priority in the report. The document emphasized the threats posed by non-state and unconventional actors, in addition to those from other states. This emphasis is expected to be used as a justification for reducing major military hardware purchases. The Ministry of Defiance's budget of 36.9 billion pounds ($58.62 billion) is set to be cut by less than 10 percent, which is significantly lower than the average 25 percent cut applied to other government departments. However, these cuts are still likely to have significant political, industrial, and diplomatic implications. The National Security Strategy also identified nuclear proliferation as a growing threat, and highlighted the vulnerability of British security to the impacts of climate change on food and water supply.
