EU leaders back new defence spending plans
Briefly

European Union leaders have approved new defence spending initiatives aimed at allocating billions of euros for enhanced security across the continent. This decision comes in response to signals from the Trump administration indicating that Europe must increasingly rely on itself for its defense needs. In an emergency meeting in Brussels, leaders discussed strategies to strengthen their security arrangements and ensure ongoing support for Ukraine amid rising tensions and threats from Russia, emphasizing the necessity of a rapid and efficient armament development in light of these challenges.
European Union leaders have made a decisive commitment to enhance their defence budgets, indicating a shift towards greater self-reliance in security matters amid changing dynamics with the United States.
As EU leaders gathered in an emergency meeting, they underscored the importance of arming themselves 'faster, smarter, and more efficiently than Russia' to bolster their own security.
