Century of European & American ‘supremacy’ over – Daly

The EU doesn’t have to ‘dump billions’ into military budgets and ‘go it alone’ with an EU army nor should it suck up to the US to face off China and Russia.   

That’s what Independent MEP Clare Daly told the European Parliament during a debate this morning on the future of EU-US relations.

MEPs discussed the state of the transatlantic partnership following the recent withdrawal of US and NATO troops from Afghanistan and the controversial security pact (the AUKUS deal) that was brokered between the US, UK and Australia last month.

Both incidents have led to calls for the EU to have more defence and security autonomy. But Clare Daly told MEPs, increased militarisation wasn’t the way to go.  

Out words: further irrelevance
