"Chancellor Merz has cultivated varying relationships with Trump, Macron, Starmer, and Meloni. German-French relations have cooled, marked by the collapse of the FCAS fighter jet project. Merz has shifted toward a pragmatic partnership with Italy's Meloni, despite ideological differences. Merz and UK PM Starmer have built a relationship of trust based on shared support for Ukraine."
Author: Kai Diekmann
