"Many leaders have talked about a Europe that needs its own military — an Army of Europe. I believe that the time has come. The Armed Forces of Europe must be created.
This is not harder than standing firm against Russian attacks — as we have already done. But this isn't just about increasing defense spending as a GDP ratio. Money is needed, yes — but money alone won’t stop an enemy assault."
"Does America need Europe? As a market, yes. But as an ally? For the answer to be 'yes,' Europe needs a single voice — not a dozen different ones.
A few days ago, President Trump told me about his conversation with Putin. Not once did he mention that America needs Europe at that table. That says a lot. The old days are over — when America supported Europe just because it always had.
But President Trump once said: What matters is not the family you were born into, but the one you build. We must build the closest possible relationship with America, and — yes, a new relationship — but as Europeans, not just as separate nations. That's why we need a unified foreign policy, a coordinated diplomacy, the foreign policy of a common Europe."
"Europe has everything it takes. Europe just needs to come together and start acting in a way that no one can say 'no' to Europe, boss it around, or treat it like a pushover."
"Look at what Putin is trying to do. This is his game. Putin wants one-on-one talks with America — just like before the war, when they met in Switzerland and looked how to carve up the world.
Next, Putin will try to get the U.S. President to stand on Red Square on May 9th — this year — not as a respected leader, but as a prop in his performance. We don't need that."
