EU: Time to Act, Replace US Troops with European Army
European Commissioner for Defense Andrius Kubilius suggested that EU nations should create a unified armed force, potentially replacing the approximately 100,000 US troops currently stationed in Europe. Kubilius also proposed establishing a European Security Council to expedite defense decisions, potentially impacting the war in Ukraine. This follows calls from the Spanish Foreign Minister for a unified European army and defense industry integration. Furthermore, the discussion comes as some French political factions are calling for a gradual withdrawal from NATO, citing concerns about US influence.
