U.S. Vs EU Tug-Of-War Over Funding Patriot Missiles To Kyiv; Kallas Tells Trump To Share Burden

She urged “shared responsibility” in arming Kyiv and warned that EU taxpayers shouldn’t foot the entire bill while U.S. firms profit. Trump’s proposal to have NATO allies fund U.S.-made weapons has reignited transatlantic tensions.
