💨 Abstract

Friedrich Merz, the frontrunner to become Germany's next chancellor, hosted conservative EU leaders in Berlin, stating that the second presidency of Donald Trump would bring clarity for the EU. Merz believes Trump is predictable and the inauguration would speed up European unity efforts. The European People's Party (EPP) prioritizes regaining competitiveness, reducing irregular migration, and enhancing security in face of various threats.
