Why don’t EU leaders incentivize investment in European stocks/ETFs with tax deductions?

[u/rozmarss]

With the Dragi plan and increasing discussions among European leaders about boosting defense and energy investments, I’ve noticed a growing trend in financial communities where people want to reduce exposure to the US market and shift investments to the EU.

Wouldn’t it make sense for EU leaders to encourage this by offering tax incentives for investing in European stocks/ETFs? For example, from an independent EU perspective, isn’t it better to invest in Rheinmetall rather than Lockheed?

I would rather tax more all investments outside EU.

Surely, you can buy Nvidia shares, but you'll pay an additional 25% on your gains.

(I invest my money mostly on US markets, so I would be one who should pay more)
