Germany should reduce reliance on US arms amid geopolitical shifts


#Germany should reduce its dependence on U.S. #defense manufacturers amid shifting political signals from Washington, the CEO of Airbus Defense and Space, Michael Schollhorn, warned in an interview with Augsburger Allgemeine, published on March 7.

"If we continue to buy off-the-shelf products from the #UnitedStates with this higher defense spending, we are cementing our dependence on others," Schollhorn said.

The business executive added that #Denmark may already realize that purchasing U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets was a questionable decision, mainly "if they actually had to defend #Greenland."
