Fully support this. With hindsight, we over did it with the nuclear disarmament of the 1990s. We should have known dictators would rise again.
A pivotal moment for Europe is here.
We are ready to mobilise up to €800 billion to help EU countries increase defence spending.
We'll present our proposals to all EU leaders at today's European Council meeting.
