Ireland, currently holding the EU's rotating presidency, has proposed a reduction of €141 billion to the European Union's upcoming 2028-2034 budget. The draft proposal was released on Saturday ahead of a scheduled meeting of EU leaders in Brussels next week, where officials aim to reach a final agreement on the long-term spending plan by the end of the year.
The proposed cuts are intended to address budgetary concerns within the bloc. However, the Irish proposal is more modest than suggestions from other member states, some of which have advocated for reductions reaching several hundred billion euros.
