فرانکو-جرمن اتحاد کا امتحان، جب مرز اور میکرون تجارت اور دفاع پر تصادم کرتے ہیں۔

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron met in Berlin to address growing tensions between their countries, which are considered the driving force of the European Union. Despite warmer personal relations than in previous administrations, the leaders remain divided on key issues such as defense strategy, leadership of joint military projects, and how to respond to escalating trade disputes with the United States. The talks come as the EU prepares potential $100 billion in tariff retaliation against US measures, highlighting the high stakes for European economic stability. Both leaders emphasized the need for trade stability and lower tariffs, but significant disagreements persist. The outcome of their discussions will shape the EU's approach to transatlantic relations and its internal cohesion.
