Since Trump was re-elected to the US Presidency, individually and collectively we proposed reviving the European Defence Community (EDC) treaty as a way to integrate European defence for a brave new era. Events since November 2024 have confirmed our conviction that Europe should take its defence seriously. Our colleague Robert Schütze has criticized our proposal, and despite our prior response, he remains unconvinced. So we’ll have to agree to disagree. Nevertheless, we still believe that it is important to clarify our standpoint.
