Europe launches its biggest rearmament since the Cold War as NATO faces pressure
Europe is undertaking its biggest rearmament since the Cold War, according to El País. The report says doubts about President Donald Trump's commitment to NATO and the perceived Russian threat are pushing the continent toward a new era of defense.
Europe is entering its most extensive rearmament since the end of the Cold War, according to a report by El País. The newspaper said two main factors are driving the trend.
The first, the report said, is doubt about President Donald Trump's commitment to NATO. The second is a growing perception of the Russian threat across European capitals.
El País said the continent is moving to raise defense spending and expand its industrial capacity. The cost, coordination and political consequences of the process are expected to remain under debate in the period ahead.
