<h1>EU Leaders to Discuss Boosting Defense Budgets Amid US Aid Suspension to Ukraine and Security Autonomy Push</h1> European Union leaders are set to hold emergency talks to address the need for increased military spending following the Trump administration's suspension of assistance to Ukraine and calls for Europe to manage its own security. The EU summit will focus on financial strategies to enhance defense capabilities independently of the US. The European Commission President has urged leaders to consider significant increases in defense budgets, while NATO and the Trump administration have proposed higher spending targets. The summit also aims to integrate Ukraine's defense industry into the European network and explore potential EU support for peacekeeping efforts in Ukraine. The meeting occurs amid internal EU challenges, with political instability in several member states.
