We welcome Europeans to take the lead in European security. I mean, that was the base.

They're certainly showing a will and they're showing both Starmer and (French President Emmanuel) Macron showed this will last week before Friday. We also had NATO Secretary General on the phone with the president before President Zelensky entered. So we expect Europe to progress for Europe, but they also have to invest in the skills to do so”, Waltz said.
He said it is clear before Zelensky visits the White House last week that Europe was planning to increase its contribution to the security of Ukraine.
