European Union nations are likely to rally around common defense spending, as the region looks at ways to bolster its security, according to Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo.
Europe needs “to strengthen defense capabilities” and for this it’s necessary to both increase domestic spending and have a common approach for the bloc, Cuerpo said in interview with Bloomberg TV Thursday during a G-20 meeting in Cape Town. “I would expect that everybody rallies around” this approach, he said.
