A new deal with the Greens could allow for as much as €1 trillion in new spending for defense and infrastructure over the next decade.
Germany’s conservative Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz has reached a breakthrough with the Greens on a massive spending plan to unleash hundreds of billions of euros for defense and infrastructure.
“Germany is back,” Merz told reporters in Berlin on Friday. “Germany is making its great contribution to the defense of freedom and peace in Europe.”
