UK softens opposition to EU defence union
By EUOBSERVER
UK foreign secretary Johnson said Monday in Brussels that EU military integration would be a "good thing" so long as it was "complementary" to Nato. He said EU countries should spend more on defence and "shoulder more responsibilities" in EU crisis missions. The UK had previously opposed EU defence cooperation. EU foreign affairs head Mogherini said Monday in Brussels that "all member states" now have "an expectation to go ahead".
