Friedrich Merz, the leader of the Christian Democratic Union party in Germany, stated that Europe needs to become more sovereign and independent, especially in technology, emphasizing that relations with the United States have changed. Merz expressed regret over this development but stressed that nostalgia does not help. His comments come against the backdrop of a recent dispute with the U.S. regarding Greenland, which was interpreted by French President Emmanuel Macron as a call for a "strategic awakening" of Europe. Merz criticized the delays in reforms in Europe and emphasized that Europeans are not as economically strong as they could be. He advocated for trade partnerships based on mutual respect and announced a meeting of the European Council to discuss measures aimed at increasing European competitiveness.
