Following a successful election win, CDU leader Friedrich Merz stresses the urgency for Germany to play a proactive role in Europe as US interest wanes. He voices concerns about the negative implications of a potential 'America Alone' approach and emphasizes the importance of European unity, especially in light of America's shifting focus under President Trump. Merz also expresses his willingness to enhance Germany's support for Ukraine, indicating a readiness to surpass the previous government's commitments.
"All the signals we are getting from the US indicate that interest in Europe is clearly declining, and the willingness to get involved in Europe is dwindling."
