💨 Abstract
Germany's opposition leader Friedrich Merz, a potential future chancellor, has stated that Germany will need to spend more than 2% of its GDP on defense, but first, they must reform their procurement system to make it more efficient. Merz dismissed Donald Trump's call for Germany to spend up to 5% of its GDP on defense, stating that it would require significant effort for Germany to reach the 2% NATO target within its regular budget.
