The EU’s Security Action for Europe program, beginning in early 2025, responds to Trump’s call for Europe to handle its own defense.
Introduction
European defense programs, which include Security Action for Europe (SAFE), represent a new initiative by the European Union, with origins dating back to the first months of 2025. This is a response by Community nations to declarations from U.S. President Donald Trump, signaling a gradual turn away from the United States from Europe and his call for the Old Continent to take responsibility for its own defense.
