Ireland's EU presidency seeks 8% cut to 2028-2034 budget

Original: EU's Irish presidency wants 8% cut to proposed 2028-2034 budget plan

Ireland, holding the rotating EU presidency, is calling for an 8% reduction to the European Commission's proposed budget for 2028-2034. The proposal signals pressure to rein in spending as member states prepare for tough negotiations over the next long-term EU budget, with clashes expected over funding priorities for agriculture, defence and regional development.

Why now: Negotiations over the EU's next long-term budget are beginning, and a presidency pushing cuts signals conflict over spending priorities.
