EU countries on Tuesday formally approved a new €150 billion loan programme to help rearm in the face of Russia and worries over US reliability, according to the Polish presidency of the bloc.
The Security Action for Europe (SAFE) borrowing scheme backed by the EU's central budget was proposed by Brussels in March as the bloc rushes to boost its defenses.
Finalized by member states earlier this month, the text received final approval at a meeting of Europe ministers in Brussels, with 26 countries voting for and one abstention, the presidency said.
Hungary was the only EU country to abstain.
