Germany cuts military rearmament programs due to high inflation in Germany and weak euro

The German government is cutting a lot of programs to rearm the Bundeswehr due to the high inflation in Germany and weak euro. German newspaper Handelsblatt wrote about it, citing unnamed politicians and representatives of the defense industry of Germany.
According to them, planned arms purchases turned out to be more expensive than initially assumed. This crisis especially affected projects for the German Navy and Air Force.
Given that many projects are designed for 5-7 years, “inflation in this dimension creates a serious financial problem,” noted one of the publication’s sources. We are talking about the third series of corvettes K130, new Eurofighter planes for electronic warfare, new frigates and self-propelled howitzers, which were to come to replace those delivered to Ukraine.
It is also assumed that there will be a cut in the order for American fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, as Berlin was counting on purchases at the pre-crisis level of the dollar against the euro. Also, the second batch of Puma armored infantry fighting vehicles, for which it was planned to allocate 304 million euros this year, will be reduced weekly.
Also, representatives of the German military industry complained that the budget of 100 billion euros is not enough to fulfill the wishes of the Bundeswehr.

U.S. budget deficit totaled $262 billion in February

According to a report from the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. budget deficit in February was $262,434 billion compared to a $38.8 billion deficit in January. The Dow 30 also had problems.
Analysts at DailyFX suggested that the nation’s budget deficit for February was expected to be $256 billion. A year earlier, in February, the U.S. posted a budget deficit of $216,590 billion.
According to the GAO report, U.S. government spending rose 3.5 percent year over year last month to $524.548 billion, while revenue, in contrast, declined 9.5 percent to $262,114 billion.
Earlier, the U.S. edition of the Washington Post published an editorial stating that the new draft budget proposed by the Biden administration undermines U.S. national security and its ability to invest in the future, because it suggests a further growth of the U.S. national debt.
The WP editorial board noted that the new draft budget assumes a $2 trillion budget deficit, including due to the high cost of providing health insurance to the elderly of the baby boomer generation.

The EU has agreed to reduce energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030

The European Union has agreed to reduce the bloc’s energy consumption by 11.7 percent by 2030, Reuters reported.
“This will mean a real change in favor of the climate and to the detriment of Putin,” the Danish Niels Fulsang, the European Parliament’s lead negotiator, told the agency.
Initially, in 2021, the EU proposed to reduce consumption by 9%, but in May 2022, against the background of events in Ukraine, increased the target to 13% to quickly abandon Russian energy, writes Forbes. The European Parliament considered it necessary to reduce consumption by 14%. The DAX Index also had problems.
Some EU countries have continued to insist on a 9% cut. An all-night negotiation between the EU and the European Parliament resulted in a compromise: the energy consumption of EU end-users, such as households and businesses, must be 11.7 percent lower than expected in 2030.
The agreement must pass final approval by the European Parliament and EU countries before it can become legally binding.
Earlier, we reported that consumers expect lower inflation in the eurozone, higher wages.
