US pulls out, Europeans must take security into their own hands, says Stubb
A stone's throw from the NATO summit, you had to dare. Alexander Stubb has therefore chosen to issue a warning to the Europeans. " I do not believe that the American presence (in Europe) is permanent” he explains in an interview with Financial Times. We must therefore prepare for an American withdrawal from Europe. " We need to grow. It is reality » he explains « We can no longer operate in the field of security as 27 different entities. If Americans Look Away (Nb: to other countries, other alliances). We have to start having European solutions ". And to add: We have a president, a foreign minister, security guarantees, legal personality and a diplomatic service. We therefore have the instruments to share decisions and work together more closely. ».
