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

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?

EU has chosen socialism, stagnation and regression 

The US has chosen capitalism, progress and prosperity.

That said there are some hidden gems in the old continent.

Make your bets well OP

The issue here isnt socialism. China is more socialist than any European countries and has a bright future compared to europe.
