Since Donald Trump took office, many changes have been made in international economic and political terms. One of the most important changes was his decision to stop sending weapons to Ukraine and no longer share military intelligence. This has exposed a strong reality for the E.U. that it is highly dependent on the U.S. for defense, making it vulnerable after the decision by President Trump.
The author, Mathieu von Rohr, suggests that the E.U. should start looking for a more independent development for the future. He believes that the E.U. should stop seeking more alliances and instead begin its own program to develop an independent defense system.Source: Von Rohr, M. (2025, March 10).
