Italy faults EU inaction
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on Tuesday criticized European countries for failing to take concrete steps to strengthen protection of shipping in the Red Sea, despite his call for them to increase their contributions to the EU’s Aspides mission. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the mission needs more than 10 warships to be effective. Crosetto noted that Italy provides about one-third of the resources committed to European operations, while larger countries contribute less. The calls come amid disruption to trade routes and energy supplies. About 40% of Italy’s trade with the rest of the world passes through the Suez Canal.
