FRANCE QUESTIONS US Commitment, Announces €36 Billion Defence Boost | US-Iran War

France’s Chief of the Defence Staff, General Fabien Mandon, said Europe could no longer rely on the United States for its security and must strengthen its own defence capabilities, citing Russia as the “primary concern” amid ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Speaking at a parliamentary hearing in Paris, Mandon highlighted a growing gap between U.S. and European priorities, warning of a “simultaneity of crises” across multiple regions. His remarks came as France unveiled plans to add €36 billion to its defence budget through 2030, accelerating spending targets to reach €64 billion annually by 2027. The announcement follows heightened global tensions, including Russian submarine activity near the UK and broader instability in the Middle East, underscoring calls for greater European military autonomy.
