German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen arrives for a news conference in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, July 13, 2016. to present a defense policy paper. Germany’s defense minister says Britain’s decision to leave the European Union offers an opportunity to press ahead with greater military cooperation in the bloc. Ursula von der Leyen says Britain for years “consistently blocked everything that had Europe written on it,” citing the example of a mobile European hospital some countries wanted to deploy to crisis regions. Speaking at the presentation of a defense policy paper Wednesday, von der Leyen said Germany and France plan to take the initiative on future military cooperation. (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber)
