I think the need for European sovereignty has clearly become even more important. So I think we're just going to go further down on that vector. It might just be that we're going to have to go faster. the need for European sovereignty has become more important. Can you explain that to me?

Again, I mean, it's been clear for many years now that we cannot rely on partners to secure and protect Europe, at least not over a long period of time. I think right now that's still there, but I think over time there just won't be, I think, the capability even of partners, and as it looks, also not the willingness to do so.

And quite frankly, I think as a continent as Europe, which is still rich, we should have that kind of pride. We should want to protect ourselves. We should not need to rely on others. We should be equals in a partnership. And that's what our partners want as well. And so it's natural, I think, that we need to go there anyway.

We've just been so used to a different kind of situation that we just need to unlearn it now and think about security ourselves. Will Trump pull out of Ukraine? I don't know. I don't think anyone knows. It's clear what he talked about. It's clear that he's made certain statements, but we'll see what's going to happen.

Yeah, I'm not sure whether it's a boom or not. I think we'll see some countries increase their defense budget a little bit. We'll see others, I mentioned Poland, increase it drastically. And particularly the countries that are most exposed to the eastern flank, to the NATO eastern flank, are more likely to increase their defense spending. It's already happening.

It's happening in Scandinavia as well. Other parts of Europe may or may not increase it as much. That I think we'll have to see. I'm not sure I would call it a boom. I think it's an increase that will go into fixing a lot of things that are broken at the moment. And then some of that increase will go into new equipment spent as well, but only some of it.

And of that, there'll be a proportion that will need to go urgently to what's called new defense technology. But that will only be a part. Who do you determine who you sell to versus who you don't? You mean which countries? Yeah. I mean, it's a bigger topic. But the question is whether you should stop at export laws or whether you should give it more thought.
