German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron are meeting in Berlin to address growing tensions between their countries, which are the driving force of the European Union. Despite warmer personal relations than in previous administrations, the leaders face significant disagreements on key issues such as defense strategy, leadership of joint fighter jet projects, and how to respond to US-EU trade disputes and tariffs. The talks are seen as crucial for the future of European unity and security, especially amid global uncertainties. The outcome of their discussions could shape the EU's approach to NATO, transatlantic relations, and internal cohesion. Observers are watching closely to see if the 'Franco-German engine' can be restarted or if divisions will deepen.
