According to Xinhua News, on the 20th local time, European Commission President von der Leyen delivered a speech in Davos, Switzerland, stating that Europe needs a sense of urgency, and Europe has already begun to push for a sharp increase in defense spending. Europe is participating in the key technology competition facing the future.
Moreover, von der Leyen stated that the EU has decided to permanently freeze Russian assets and retain the right to use these assets.
Regarding security issues in the Arctic region, von der Leyen said that Europe is resolute and fully committed to the security of the Arctic region. The EU's goals in this regard are consistent with those of the United States, but Trump's proposal to impose additional tariffs was a mistake. The EU-US trade agreement has been reached, and the EU will make an unwavering, united, and moderate response to the issue of US tariffs. (Total Station reporter Gu Xin)
