European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen introduced a plan to increase European defense expenses by $ 842 billion.
European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen has proposed to raise $ 842 billion to arms Europe again. The proposal presented on Tuesday will be implemented in 5 parts, which proposes to create a defense fund of $ 160 billion (150 billion Euro) to arrest European Union (EU) member countries.
The European Union War Bond will release this defense fund. EU has also issued a bond of $ 54 billion (50 billion euros) to help Ukraine earlier.
According to the New York Times, the shares of the British defense company BAE Systems, German weapon manufacturer Rinmetal and Italy’s aerospace and defense firm Leonardo’s shares came out as soon as the proposal was revealed.
Why the proposal brought The Trump wants to reduce security dependence on Europe America due to the steps taken by the government. Trump has several times asked to separate America from NATO.
Ursula von Der, a summit of European countries in London on March 3, after a debate between Trump and Jailonski at the White House, stated the need to immediately arms Europe.
He had said that we have to increase defense investment. This is necessary for the protection of the European Union. We should be ready for the worst situation at the moment.
Ukraine President Jailnsky arrived in the US to meet Trump on Sunday, where he was thrown out of the White House after a debate. After this, many European countries came in support of Jailonski.
Europe is up to America for security Europe has been largely dependent on Europe for its safety since the Cold War (1947–91) between the US and the UsRR (current Russia). According to defense expert Manoj Joshi, many countries in Europe are spending less than 2% of GDP on their defense. Their forces have become so weak that it will take time to overcome them.
On the other hand, Trump NATO considers the alliance a waste of time and money. If the US leaves NATO, European countries will have to spend at least 3% on defense to meet their plans.
They will have to bridge ammunition, transport, fuel aircraft, command and control system, satellite and drone deficiency, which are currently provided by the US.
NATO members such as UK and France have 500 atmy weapons, while Russia alone has 6000. If America goes out of NATO, the alliance will have to give a fresh shape to its nuclear-policy.
A big challenge to build consent inside EU The European Union may have to face opposition from member countries in issuing war-bonds. Earlier, on the issue of Ukraine’s support, Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fico had said that he would not provide financial and military help to Ukraine.
At the same time, Hungary Prime Minister Victor Orban also supported US President Trump against Jailonsky. After the debate between the two at the White House, he called Trump strong and Jailonsky was weak. Orban also thanked Trump.
Joint European Army may begin to be the beginning Experts believe that the proposal brought by Ursula may begin to form Joint European Army. According to CNN, there are 2 million soldiers in Europe’s total joint army.
There has been a continuous discussion on creating a shared European army in the early days of the cold war. From 1953 to 1961, the US President Eisenhawar had also refused European countries for this, but then the French Parliament banned it.
After the formation of the European Union in the 1990s, the idea of shared European Army was once again introduced, but it did not get support due to the US opposition and commitment to the NATO of European countries.
In December 1998, French President Jacques Shik and British Prime Minister Tony Blair agreed to form the European Force in St. Malo, France, but the proposal could not move forward.
