UN Warns of Rising Military Spending Over Peace Investments

UN Warns of Rising Military Spending Over Peace Investments

The United Nations is worried because countries are spending more money on the military than on things that promote peace.

The UN's report says that in 2024, countries spent a lot more on the military than ever before.

This is taking money away from important things like schools, hospitals, and helping poor countries.

The US wants to spend even more on its military.

The UN also talked about how the world's economy is growing slowly.

India's economy is doing a bit better, but there are still risks like climate change and high prices.

The UN says the world might not grow as fast as it did before the pandemic.
