Isn't that more than the EU defence budget from 2022? Not gonna lie, I'm kinda a little scared now. I realise that there's less than a 1 in 1 billion chance Apple is gonna set up its own military and attack the EU, but still...
What EU does have is the European Defence Agency (EDA) which is a body that organises collective projects and coordination on behalf of its members.
The EDA's budget in 2023 was €44.8Bn.
