Prime Minister of Luxembourg calls for creation of European army

The Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Luc Frieden, proposed the creation of a European army, fearing that the return of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States could weaken Europe's security guarantees, The Telegraph informs.

In his speech, Frieden proposed that the first steps toward creating such an army should be taken by a "coalition of the willing" among EU countries. Frieden emphasized that the new army should be integrated with NATO and work in partnership with allies in North America. "Russia’s unacceptable invasion of Ukraine has been a wake-up call," he noted, stressing the need to strengthen institutions that can defend democratic values.
