EU summit to avoid appearance of distancing from U.S

This week's European Union summit will focus on how Europe can strengthen its own defense capabilities. However, a German official emphasized the importance of not creating the impression that Europe is moving away from the United States. The summit is scheduled for Thursday and Friday in Brussels. It may be Chancellor Olaf Scholz's final summit as he prepares for a leadership transition. The official expressed the desire to maintain strong ties with the U.S. while discussing European security. Additionally, the official mentioned that the conclusions from the summit regarding Ukraine might reflect the views of nearly all member states. Last time, Hungary did not agree, signing only with 26 other countries.
