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 are struggling to overcome deep divisions on key issues such as defense cooperation, leadership of joint fighter jet projects, and responses to US tariffs. The talks also focus on NATO security and the broader EU-US trade relationship, both of which are under pressure from shifting global alliances and economic policies. The outcome of these discussions will be crucial for the future direction of the EU, especially as it faces external threats and internal disagreements. The Franco-German partnership, often called the 'engine of Europe,' is at risk of stalling if these disputes are not resolved.
