EU Reinforces Diplomacy and Defense

The EU is gearing up for a major foreign policy shift as Kaja Kallas announces key leadership changes: Kajsa Ollongren, former Dutch defense minister, takes the helm as secretary-general of the European External Action Service, while David Cvach, France’s NATO ambassador, steps into the top defense and security role. These moves, effective September 1, reflect a urgent push to strengthen EU security amid the war in Ukraine and wavering U.S. NATO commitments. With ties to NATO’s current chief and a broader goal of faster, more coordinated global responses—including criticism over Gaza—these appointments signal the EU’s serious intent to assert its own defense capabilities and deepen alliances.
