CLAIM Posted by admin • May 19, 2026
EU foreign aid should be conditioned on a recipient country's stance towards authoritarian regimes like Russia and Iran, as this aligns aid with democratic values and geopolitical stability. Supporting allies who share our values is essential for a united European front.
