Trump does not know how to complete the war in Ukraine: EU leaders call the summit out of defense - WP
The summit will be informal in conditions where there is no clear signal from US President Donald Trump as he intends to stop a full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. About it writes The Washington Post. UK Prime Minister Keer Starmer and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will join 27 EU leaders in Brussels. The summit will be dedicated to the cooperation of the EU and the US, military spending and the increase of the European Defense Industry.
EU representatives do not have confidence in Trump, which threatens its allies with tariffs. During his previous term, Trump imposed duties on European steel and aluminum. Last month, Trump also left open the opportunity that the US military can be used to ensure the safety of Greenland and Panama Channel. "We need Greenland for national security purposes," he said.
Last week, Denmark Prime Minister Matte Fredericksen tried to strengthen support among European allies, which were faced with what she called "more uncertain reality. " This issue should be the central meeting point on Monday - the first in the history of the EU leaders meeting, focused solely on defense, which, according to the plans, will last about 12 hours.
