Britain plans quick pullout from Malta
LONDON (UPI) Britain moves to a rapid military withdrawal from Malta after Maltese Premier Dom Mintoff demanded payment for continued stationing. Britain rejects the ultimatum and starts contingency plans while seeking a reasonable withdrawal timeline. About 3,500 British service members and 7,000 dependents on the island face reassignment, with potential transfers to Cyprus or Gibraltar. The withdrawal would cost Malta jobs and revenue, with an estimated 7,500 more unemployed amid a 100,000-strong workforce.
