Tweede Kamer wil dat Defensie minder afhankelijk is van Amerikaanse bedrijven

The Dutch House of Representatives has expressed a formal desire for the Ministry of Defence to reduce its reliance on American companies for military procurement. The government has set a strategic ambition to source at least 50 percent of all military equipment from within Europe to bolster regional autonomy.

Despite this objective, current procurement trends indicate that the Ministry of Defence is moving in the opposite direction, increasing its dependence on United States-based suppliers rather than shifting toward European alternatives.
