LONDON — Theresa Would possibly presumably per chance will on the present time trudge EU worldwide locations to « stand

what this suggests for the EU. To me, it’s obvious that we must
give a enhance to our preparedness for future attacks, in conjunction with in
co-operation with NATO. And we want to amplify our resilience to
hybrid threats, equivalent to undermining believe in our democracies
by draw of unsuitable news or election meddling. »
