#Hegseth’s comments largely mischaracterized #Europe policies today. On defense, European #allies & #Canada have launched an unprecedented effort to boost #defense spending & expand their armed forces. #NATO Sec-Gen Mark Rutte noted Thursday that they spent $90 billion more on defense last year, a 20% increase over 2024. And while Europe accepted large numbers of #immigrants & #asylum seekers more than a decade ago, most countries have tightened their borders since.
