Now that relations with the US continue to deteriorate: influential EPP faction leader Weber wants to talk about the European nuclear umbrella

As US-European relations continue to deteriorate, EPP group leader in the European Parliament Manfred Weber is calling on EU heads of state and government to initiate concrete talks on a European nuclear umbrella. French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to make the French nuclear arsenal available for this purpose is a “generous offer” because of the “new developments in the US,” Weber said in Zagreb, Croatia, after a summit meeting of the European People’s Party (EPP), the center-right faction in the European Parliament to which CD&V also belongs.
