Pistorius verteidigt Bevorzugung der deutschen Industrie bei Rüstungsausgaben

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius defended the country's approach to defense cooperation, stating that Germany is committed to European collaboration and does not prioritize its arms industry over others. His remarks came in response to criticism from Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, who accused Germany of focusing too much on domestic arms manufacturers instead of collaborating with European partners. Pistorius emphasized that while there is a consensus on the need for more defense cooperation, individual countries often prioritize their own industries when it comes to critical decisions.
