"EU Urged to Subsidize Defense Production by Ursula von der Leyen"

Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, has urged the EU to provide subsidies for defence production in order to reduce the bloc's reliance on the US and boost its strategic autonomy. This call comes as the EU aims to strengthen its defence capabilities and reduce its dependence on external suppliers, particularly in light of geopolitical tensions and security concerns.
