The European Union is seeking to boost its defence capabilities, driven by US President Donald Trump's calls for greater burden-sharing. As Europe reduces its reliance on Washington for security, the EU is exploring new funding options to support its defence strategy. This shift towards greater autonomy is expected to have significant implications for transatlantic relations and global security. Key areas of focus include defence spending, military modernisation, and strategic partnerships. The EU's defence boost is likely to involve increased investment in emerging technologies, such as cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, to enhance its military capabilities.
