France and Germany call for stronger European defense after Trump's reelection

politico.eu — November 7, 2024, 01:01 AM UTC

French and German defense ministers met in Paris to discuss Europe's security following Donald Trump's reelection. They emphasized the need for increased defense efforts amid concerns about NATO's future and the implications of Trump's past criticisms of European military spending.

The meeting occurred shortly before the collapse of Germany's coalition government. Both ministers highlighted their countries' recent achievement of NATO's defense spending target of 2 percent of GDP and Germany's plans for voluntary military recruitment starting in 2025.

Lecornu urged European nations to enhance their military contributions beyond financial commitments. He stressed the importance of tangible military assets, such as troops and equipment, in ensuring security and defense.
