#EU: Europe Needs Its Own Army, Says EuroComm. Pres.; UK Immediately Rejects

[world politics news]


European Commission Pres. Jean-Claude Juncker says the European Union needs its own army to help address the problem that it is not “taken entirely seriously” as an international force. An EU army  would help the EU to persuade Russia that it was serious about defending its values. The UK, however, immediately rejected the idea.


INFO: Jean-Claude Juncker is the 12th and current President of the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union. He is the former prime minister of Luxembourg.
