EU Defence Strategy Threatens to Exclude Turkish Industry TurDef
EU's new defence strategy, with €150 billion military spending programme gives European suppliers top priority, therefore excludes Türkiye, the UK, and the US.
With the Joint White Paper on European Defence Readiness 2030, the European Union has firmly moved towards changing its defence scene. This paper describes a calculated step to lower dependence on US military supply and boost the European defence sector. Nonetheless, a major component of the strategy is how it affects non-EU nations, especially Türkiye, the UK, and the US, who may be excluded from engaging in EU-funded military contracts.
Strategic Change in European Defence
Under the plan, EU members—including Norway and Ukraine—would be obliged to source at least 65% of defence-related purchases from inside the union. Projects funded by the recently formed €150 billion EU military fund, which seeks to hasten rearmaments initiatives throughout Europe, fall under this criterion. Only if non-EU nations have security relations with the EU will the remaining 35% possibly originate from outside of Europe.
