German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reaffirmed his willingness to work with future US president Donald Trump, at an informal EU summit in Budapest on Friday.
However, he emphasized that Europe must strengthen cooperation in the security sector. “We must work together as the European Union, as Europeans, to do what is necessary for our own security,” he said. “This will be successful if everyone plays their part.”
Scholz pointed out that this year, for the first time in decades, Germany is spending more than 2% of its gross domestic product on defence. “Others want to do this and will follow suit,” he said.
Scholz reached out to Trump on Wednesday, immediately after his election victory, offering Trump a reliable partnership.
On Friday in Budapest he said Europe would “continue to work well with the future American president.”
