PoliticsMacron calls on EU countries to ramp up arms production
The French leader urged European Union countries to increase their arms production. Emmanuel Macron also acknowledged that the French-German program to develop a new-generation fighter jet under the SCAF/FCAS Future Combat Air Systems project had failed. His remarks linked a push for stronger European defense manufacturing with the setback facing the joint fighter-jet program. The statement presents the project as a flop rather than a successful step in cooperation.
