France takes charge in shaping European air defence strategy.
TL;DR Summary
France has summoned its allies to challenge Germany's plan to lead a joint air defence programme with the Netherlands, which it claims would undermine NATO and the European Union's defence autonomy. France has proposed an alternative plan that would see the creation of a European air defence system, but Germany has rejected the proposal, stating that it would duplicate NATO's efforts. The dispute highlights the ongoing tensions between France and Germany over defence policy.
