EU Leaders have agreed on a massive €800 billion military budget, marking one of the most significant defense investments in European history. This decision comes amid growing security concerns over Russia’s continued aggression in Eastern Europe.
A key part of this initiative includes €150 billion in loans for the joint procurement of European-made military equipment, reducing the EU’s dependence on US defense systems. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have pushed for a stronger European military alliance, ensuring the region’s long-term security and strategic autonomy.
With this decision, Europe is taking a bold step toward military independence, reinforcing its position as a key player in global defense.
