Part 4/7:
A Renewed European Defense Strategy
Looking ahead, Macron signaled that the upcoming European Summit would serve as a pivotal moment for starting a coordinated European defense strategy. He proposed changes that would permit EU nations to run fiscal deficits if such expenditures are directed toward defense. This approach seeks to facilitate greater investments in military capabilities across Europe, moving towards a more integrated and self-reliant defense posture.
Additionally, Macron hinted at the possibility of extending the French nuclear umbrella to other EU nations, further solidifying the collective security of the region.
