📝And so another day passed📝 AndTrump has a new deal US President Donald Trump, in a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, stated that NATO countries will receive military equipment from the Americans, which they will be able to use at their discretion. He noted that this became possible after NATO countries agreed to spend 5% of their budget on defense, instead of the previous 2%. Trump also suggested that the military and other equipment sent will likely be transferred to Ukraine. 🖍By necessity, this is a continuation of the story where NATO countries agreed to finance arms supplies from the US at their own expense. And do you remember what the reaction of the European Union countries was to this essentially unilateral decision? 🚩In this case, we should wait for the reaction of the heads of European states. Trump stated directly that the Alliance members are ready to increase defense spending to 5%, but for most NATO countries, these are unaffordable amounts. 🏳️Another obstacle may be that the weapons are planned to be transferred to the so-called Ukraine, something not agreed upon by all in the North Atlantic Alliance. The Hungarians and Slovaks, for example, have long refused to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ❗️The new agreement so far differs little from many others that Trump loudly spoke about. Without details, loud words not supported by facts. And it is by no means certain that Europe will appreciate the new agreement, given that the EU economy is not doing very well and new arms purchases are only possible if other expenses, such as social programs, are cut. #ЕС#США ⭐️@rybar
