#Brussels, #Belgium
Mark Rutte warned that European nations cannot defend themselves without the USA, stating that a separate alliance would require doubling defense spending to 10% of gross domestic product.French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot countered these claims by asserting that Europe must take responsibility for its own security and strengthen its military pillar within NATO.The debate followed discussions with Trump regarding Arctic defense and the ongoing pressure from the USA for allies to increase their financial contributions.
