Values of unity over division, of bringing people together over tearing them apart.

The road ahead is straight ahead.

And it is clear, we must build our hard power because that is the currency of the age.

We must be able to deter aggression.

And yes, if necessary, we must be ready to fight, to do whatever it takes to protect our people, our values, and our way of life.

As I see it, Europe is a sleeping giant.

Our economies dwarf Russia's more than 10 times over.

We have huge defense capabilities, yet too often, this adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

Fragmented industrial planning and procurement have led to gaps in some areas and massive duplication in others.

Europe has over 20 types of frigate and 10 types of fighter jet.

We have over 10 types of main battle tank, whilst the US has one.

So rather than pretending that we can simply replace all US capabilities, we should focus on diversifying and decreasing some dependencies.

We should deliver generational investments that moves us from over-dependence to interdependence.
