US ambassador calls Europe's 'Made in Europe' defence push self-interest
Original: US ambassador slams 'Made in Europe’ defence push as ‘self-interest'
A US ambassador has criticised Europe's push to build and buy defence equipment made in Europe, dismissing it as driven by self-interest rather than shared security. The remarks add friction to ongoing transatlantic tensions over defence spending and procurement, as EU leaders push to strengthen the continent's own defence industry and reduce reliance on American arms.
Why now: Tensions are high between the US and Europe over defence spending and Europe's drive for strategic autonomy.
