NATO’s Rutte Urges Defense Contractors to Ramp Up, Welt Says

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that increased defense budgets by European governments were the first step in securing the continent and that contractors need to play their part by increasing output.

“We also need to quickly ramp up our defense production,” Rutte said in an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. “This includes ammunition, ships, tanks, jets, but also satellites and drones. For far too long we have produced far too little.”
