Germany and Sweden Push for EU Foreign Policy Reform
Germany and Sweden are leading calls for a radical overhaul of the EU's foreign policy framework, citing systemic paralysis due to the bloc's unanimity requirement. This comes as the EU struggles to fund Ukraine and respond to the Iran war, with key decisions, including a €90 billion loan for Kyiv, stalled by member states like Hungary. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul emphasized the need to abolish the unanimity principle in foreign and security policy to enhance the EU's international effectiveness.
