German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron met in Berlin to address growing divisions between their countries, which are central to the EU's political and economic stability. Despite warmer personal relations, the leaders face significant disagreements over defense cooperation, particularly a joint fighter jet project, and how to respond to escalating trade tensions with the United States. Both leaders emphasized the need for a united European front, especially as the EU considers a $100 billion tariff retaliation against US measures. They set an August deadline to resolve the fighter jet dispute, but ongoing issues threaten to undermine the traditional Franco-German 'engine' that drives EU policy. The outcome of these talks will have major implications for Europe's defense strategy and its economic relationship with the US.
