European Parliament President Roberta Metsola Proposes Establishment of European Defense Alliance

**European Parliament President Roberta Metsola has proposed the creation of a European Defense Alliance to supplement NATO.**

According to a report by the World Journal, Metsola highlighted the need for the EU to play a more prominent role in European security and defense, noting that the alliance would enable EU member states to rely on their own strength in responding to any potential threats.

This proposal has received support from European External Affairs Chief Josep Borrell, who has expressed the idea of establishing a common European army. However, he emphasized that this would not happen in the near future.

**A European Defense Alliance would mark a significant shift in the EU's approach to security and defense, with implications for European defense and security policies.**
