EU, ready for European army

This is a symbolic step towards the increasing needs for cooperation in security and defense.

This delicate matter had been postponed for years, but it was returned to attention after Russia annexed Crimea, and after the increased threat of Islamic terrorists.

Another thing that moved the EU toards this idea was the warning of Donald Trump to reduce the US engagement if NATO countries don’t increase their level of payment.

Mogherini said that the proposition made to the EU ministers is to start a mechanism that will allow a more unified, more rational and more efficient approach to the current military missions.

“We are encouraging the EU to cooperate closely with NATO, in order to avoid duplicated structures and to start working together against new threats, such as cybernetic security”, said Fallon, British Secretary of Defense.
