💨 Abstract
German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, a potential chancellor candidate in the upcoming election, said Germany would increase defense spending but did not commit to a NATO defense spending target as requested by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Merz emphasized the need to reach the 2% lower limit in Germany, and stated that targets like 2%, 3%, or 5% are less important than ensuring defense capabilities.
