The German government has dismissed the United States' critique of Europe's security strategy as outlined in the new U.S. national security document, maintaining that Russia still poses a significant threat. A government spokesperson addressed these concerns during a press conference on Monday.

Rejecting the U.S.'s viewpoint, the spokesperson underlined the need for Europe to prioritize and expedite its own security measures. This comes amidst ongoing concerns about Europe's defense readiness in the face of external threats.
