💨 Abstract

Germany's election winner, Friedrich Merz, warned the US against turning its back on allies and urged Europe to bolster its defense capabilities, stating that it's now "five minutes to midnight for Europe". Merz's comments reflect concerns about the future of the transatlantic alliance under President Trump, who is perceived as potentially making a deal with Russia over Ukraine without European input.
