This call for increased defense budgets comes as European leaders, including Germany's Merz and EU defense chief Andrius Kubilius, emphasize the need for a robust military response to potential threats, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the looming influence of figures like Donald Trump.
