💨 Abstract

German election winner Friedrich Merz's conservatives and Chancellor Olaf Scholz's Social Democrats held "open and constructive" talks towards forming a coalition, aiming to lift Europe's largest economy out of a slump and fund a military overhaul. Discussions will continue next week amid concerns over Merz's abrasive style and opposition from some incoming SPD lawmakers.
