Europeanisation of NATO Gains Momentum Amid US Tensions
The recent NATO summit in Ankara marked a significant milestone in the Europeanisation of defence, with European allies announcing major investments in defence production and procurement. The summit saw the announcement of $50 billion in deals, including a decision to choose Saab to manufacture surveillance planes, replacing US Boeing planes. Despite tensions with the US, the summit ended on a positive note, with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte framing the event as a story of Europe stepping up to take control of its own defence.
