EU-US political agreement: defence

EU-US political agreement: defence

Question for written answer E-003919/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Benoit Cassart (Renew)

Is this not at odds with the Defence Readiness Omnibus and the Security Action for Europe instrument, both of which aim to support European defence firms and bolster the Union's strategic independence?
