Von der Leyen proposes European Security Council in State of the Union
Original: Von der Leyen proposes European Security Council in 2026 State of the Union address
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen used her 2026 State of the Union address to propose creating a European Security Council, a new body intended to strengthen the EU's collective defence and security decision-making. The proposal comes amid ongoing debates about Europe's defence capabilities and its role in international security, and is expected to prompt discussion among member states over how such a council would operate.
Why now: The proposal touches on sensitive debates over EU defence integration and national sovereignty, drawing attention across member states.
