Germany and allies warn drastic budget cuts needed for Europe's defense
Original: Drastic budget cutbacks essential to fund Europe's defense, Germany and allies warn
Germany and allied European governments are warning that drastic budget cutbacks are essential to fund the continent's defense. The message signals a push to redirect public spending toward military capability at a time of heightened security concerns in Europe, and it is likely to spark debate over which welfare, infrastructure or other programs will have to be scaled back to pay for rearmament.
Why now: European governments are under pressure to sharply raise defense spending amid security tensions, forcing trade-offs in national budgets.
