NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte, will urge European defense companies to increase investments and accelerate production. The meeting in Brussels aims to strengthen Europe's military capabilities.

Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, will put pressure on European defense companies next week, urging them to increase investments and accelerate production. Rutte will meet in Brussels with representatives of major defense groups to discuss NATO's needs and make important announcements at the July summit in Ankara. Companies are asked to provide information about their capacity to increase production, especially in the areas of air defense and long-range missile systems.

NATO also aims to respond to the demands of U.S. President Donald Trump regarding increased defense spending, in the context of concerns about the United States' commitment to the region. Rutte wants to find out what barriers exist to increasing production, considering the tensions between companies and defense ministries. There is also discussion about the need to reduce dependence on Chinese and Taiwanese components, while Europe seeks internal solutions to strengthen its defense capabilities.
