The United States will not provide assistance to Europe in the event of a military threat to Europe. This view was expressed in an interview by Armin Papperger, CEO of the German defense concern Rheinmetall. Financial Times.
According to him, in recent years European leaders have hoped for US military assistance in the event of an anticipated conflict. That’s unlikely anymore, Papperger said.
The general director of the concern believes that Washington has made it clear that it will no longer finance the defense of its allies. Among other things, the United States is now focused on the Asia-Pacific region rather than Europe.
Papperger stated that if an armed conflict breaks out in European countries, Europe will be “completely alone.”
He added that efforts to restore Germany’s military power will continue regardless of who the next US president, Joe Biden or Donald Trump, will be.
Papperger also called on European countries to create larger groups of defense companies that could compete with Americans.
