This week on the program, we turn our ear to America’s ally across the pond, the United Kingdom. Our guest is Will Jessett — the current Director for Strategic Planning at the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence in London. Our Global Business Editor Marcus Weisgerber sat down with Will to talk though the UK’s new defense modernization review, released in December, and how the British defense world is planning for an uncertain future of Russian revanchism and possibly expanded integration with the Chinese economy in the decades to come. // Music by Terry Devine-King, via AudioNetwork.com • Read the UK Ministry of Defence's modernization review here: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/modernising-defence-programme-update
