Yes, the USA really set a bad example for the rest of the world by invoking the Defense Production Act last year, and Biden renewing it last month. Or did you think the EU is the only one playing these games?

The USA had this position from the outset, everyone was able to plan around it. I don't think it was the best position, but I think there is value in making its position clear.

This move by the EU just shows Van der Leyen's floundering and the EU showing again the limits of its efficacy as a governing organization.
