Leaders of the European Union gathering for an emergency summit on Thursday aim to address alterations to fiscal rules on responsibility. These rules, established 15 years ago in response to a debt crisis, enforce a limit on the deficit that countries can accumulate.

This change could enable countries to significantly boost their defence budgets.
