The European Union is increasing its defense spending to spend more money on the United States by the NATO countries of the European Union Donald Trump, and said “no love is better than” no love “.US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called Trump’s urge to NATO countries to strengthen military expenses on his own as an act of “difficult love”. The European Union’s diplomatic head Kaza Kalas also called to strengthen relations with the Asia-Pacific region on the Shangri-La Raksha Manch in Singapore.Trump has been quite frequent about increasing defense spending for NATO countries, which suggest five percent of GDP. He has said that Washington will no longer tolerate “freelorders”. Speaking to the representatives, Hegseth said earlier, “We are carrying forward our colleagues in Europe to invest in our defense”.Kalas said that there are many countries in Europe that have felt a long time ago that investment in defense is necessary. “It’s a good thing that we are doing more, but the stress that I want to do is that the security of Europe and the security of Pacific is very much connected,” he said according to the report by AP.He insisted that the European Union is rapidly becoming a “global security partner”. Kalas pointed out examples of North Korean soldiers serving North Korean soldiers and Russia that served military hardware.Referring to the speech of the US Defense Secretary, he said, “I feel again, if you are worried about China, you should be worried about Russia.”Earlier this month, the German Defense Minister announced that the country has defended 5% of its GDP, while the European Union is a burden with a loan of 800 billion euros, which needs to be paid back by 2058.
