Friedrich Merz, likely the next Chancellor of Germany, has voiced skepticism about NATO's current structure, suggesting that Europe will need to independently address their own defense. He criticized the US under President Trump for not prioritizing Europe's security and stated that his goal is to enhance European military capabilities swiftly. Merz believes that the upcoming NATO Summit may not address NATO in its current form, indicating a shift towards establishing a more autonomous European defense strategy that includes the UK despite Brexit.
Friedrich Merz emphasized that NATO may not survive in its current form, suggesting Europe needs to build its own defense capabilities independent of the US.
Merz's focus is on quickly strengthening Europe's military independence from the USA, spurred by what he perceives as a lack of US concern for Europe.
