UK does not pay.
The EU is likely to develop a military at some point and has some defence cooperation. if you do not trust the US, that means you cannot rely on NATO, which means you need some alternative.

I agree. It might be meant as a threat to influence US policy.
- ifwinterco 22d agoThat could be a european Nato though, doesn't mean you need literally one EU army
- graemep 22d agoYes, and it might be a good idea. It should probably not be part of the EU though - there are a number of non-EU countries you would want in a European NATO such as the UK, Norway and Iceland.
