The European Union is taking decisive steps to bolster its defense capabilities and reduce dependence on the US. Recent announcements highlight a colossal €150bn rearmament fund that will exclude American, British, and Turkish defense companies, signaling a strategic shift towards buying more European-made weapons. As Russia poses increasing threats, the EU is prioritizing joint military spending and has unveiled a comprehensive defense strategy aimed at collective arms purchases by 2030. This defense push not only focuses on enhancing military readiness but also aims to stimulate the economies of member states. However, concerns about potential economic repercussions from heightened military spending have been raised. With calls for urgent action, the European Commission is working on mechanisms to pool defense orders among member states, emphasizing the need for technological advances and coordination amid rising security challenges.
