Comment on Poland, France and Germany vow to make Europe stronger as fears grow over Russia and Trump

On a broader goal? Same reason the EEA was started, to reach a consolidated mass that’s capable of competing at the level of the main superpowers (US and USSR then, US and China now). Having some independence from US’ power projection, not having to rely on their war machine would let the EU pursue it’s best interests, not the ones of a foreign, albeit allied, country.
