Germany has made an official friendship with France for more than 60 years as Alice Treat. Now one with the United Kingdom is- the first broad bilateral treaty of two countries since the end of the second world.
Above these, the treaty signed on Thursday provides for close security and support of weapons, including mutual assistance in the event of crisis, it is something that has been present for a long time.
German Chanman Frederick Merz signed the treaty in London, French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigit to pay a state trip in the UK for several days, which lasted for several days, including a royal couple and a car ride with a state banquet. His journey, too, is mainly about the safety of two nuclear powers of Europe.
Merz, Macron and British Prime Minister Kir Strandmer traveled together in a train a few weeks ago to assure Ukraine to support their continuous support. Pictures from the journey show the three of them in rest and informal conversation. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk joined him after taking another train.
Requirement alliance
“E3” is a new brief for cooperation between three major Western European countries of Germany, France and the UK. Although France and Germany are already close partners with the European Union, the UK has been on the shore since Brexit, when the 27-member political and economic association from the Itin-Vithdu.
But the thesis differences have been distinct to address two -pressure issues: the danger from Russia and whether US President Donald Trump will return the European NATO states in the incident. Atomic dissection of France and the UK, as Merz has repeatedly indicated, can complement American security to Europe, and perhaps it can change it even in a longer period, Washington must completely change back to Europe.
Merz: ‘We were Free-Riders’
The inauguration journey of Merz in Washington in June was deemed normal, and his joint press appearance with Trump closed without exposing any major cracks. In contrast, Trump and Vice President JD Vance snatched the Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelansky in front of the cameras in the Oval office in February. At that time the scene admitted the merge.
Merz said very little in his press conference with Trump and was nervous, while Trump talked. The Chancellor promised primarily more defense spending, and the US President looked satisfied.
“Trump is not interested in partnership, but in Jagirdar,” Helley-Vintberg’s political scientist Johannes Varavik wrote to DW.
Soon after her election victory in February, Merz stated that Europe should “gain freedom from America” in terms of defense policy.
But this is unrealistic, Hening Half said from the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP). “In view of the great dependence on Europe on America in terms of security policy, Washington W will openly away from Wasland and be careless and untriben,” he wrote to DW.
Varavik Conckers: “There can be no question of freedom,” politically or military, he wrote.
In London, Merz indicated that while security cooperation with the UK could complement the US defense guarantee, this may not be an alternative. In an interview by the BBC, the Chancellor, so it was agitated with the US President when it came to the European defense spending: “We know that we have to do more and we have a bee-free-woman in the past,” said Heer. “They are asking us to do more, and we’re more now,” hey, “Hey, referring to the new schemes of Germany to increase our own defense spending on a large scale.
Seema controls stress relations with Poland
Merz, the head of the Conservative Christian Democratic Union of Germany, repeatedly accused the previous government of ignoring relations with France and Poland under the Center-Leam Social Democrats Olaf Sholaz. Soon after assuming office in May, Merz traveled to Paris and Warsaw to indicate how much it gives importance to two European partners.
He appeared to immediately create a cordial understanding with Macron, but introduced border control with his neighbor to prevent illegal entry after stress with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusks with Berlin. Poland does not want to withdraw the migrants and is now controlling the border with Germany.
Seema’s issue was a “false start”, DGAP’s Henning Half said. “Because the symbolic migration policy was more important to him than the European cohesion and good neighboring relations with Poland.”
At a press conference with Strander in London, Merz insisted that tripartite cooperation was not exclusive: “We always take into account Poland, Italy and others so small European partners, whatever we decide,” Hey said.
Nevertheless, the journey taken together by Merz, Stumor and Macron was – without a task or the Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni – was symbolic. And so far the new formula for security policy cooperation is E3, not E4 or E5.
