US ambassador criticises Europe's defence push as self-interest
Original: US ambassador slams 'Made in Europe’ defence push as ‘self-interest'
The US ambassador has criticised Europe's 'Made in Europe' defence initiative, calling it an exercise in self-interest. The remarks come as the European Union pushes to strengthen its own defence industry and reduce reliance on American weapons. The comments highlight growing transatlantic friction over burden-sharing and industrial policy at a time when Europe is seeking greater strategic autonomy.
Why now: Ongoing transatlantic tensions over Europe's push for defence autonomy make the ambassador's criticism newsworthy.
