Economic tricks
Donald Trump wants the other countries of NATO to be investing 3 % of their respective Gross Domestic Product into defence. In which I can completely follow him, as the USA is the country that invested the most into defence of all NATO countries and the other countries were relying too much on the power of the USA.
This has put a lot of pressure on European countries that are already in high debt and that have very little room for extra investments. But, today, Ursula Von Der Leyen tweeted they have an amazing trick up their sleeve. They will use the savings of civilians from the EU to invest into defence… How this exactly will work is a big question mark. And especially, what will the risks be for the people that have their savings used for this?
A very interesting but unconventional way of “bookkeeping” from the EU. Curious to see how this works out!
