Merz also stated that a return to nuclear energy is also possible in Germany, pointing out that he is considering new nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"942a1b27-f2a6-4655-b48b-4a376300c57b\">Asserting that the \u20ac460bn ($474bn) federal budget &#8220;has a lot of room for change,&#8221; Merz said he was open to discussing the loosening of the constitutional debt brake, which limits the federal government&#8217;s structural deficit to 0.35% of GDP, but emphasized that this was &#8220;not their first approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"a1f0b98b-6e42-4013-a2f3-8f9c6d7ac266\">Insisting that German industry was still strong, Merz insisted that his country&#8217;s export-oriented model could &#8220;absolutely&#8221; survive, despite the world&#8217;s turn towards protectionism and the imminent imposition of tariffs by the US on the EU.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"24835988-87b7-43b5-83cd-1b69cc038cd4\"><strong>Proposal for unequal sharing of sovereignty and the single market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"f72c3e62-920b-49d3-bd00-597a42426896\">When it comes to European politics, Merz promised to revive the &#8220;Weimar Triangle&#8221; with France and Poland, said he would like to work on joint projects in the fields of artificial intelligence and quantum computing as well as military co-operation, and hoped to work &#8220;very closely&#8221; with Italy&#8217;s right-wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"8f7b03f3-0a46-4231-aa0a-f6576db926a7\">More fundamentally, Merz supports the idea of a European organization of &#8220;concentric circles,&#8221; first proposed in the 1990s by Wolfgang Sch\u00e4uble, a leading CDU figure and Merz&#8217;s political mentor, in which some countries are at the center of integration while others share less sovereignty and benefit less from the common market.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"e2ca0e12-5bc3-4d11-be80-189c97c588bd\">&#8220;Being completely in or completely out should not be the right answer,&#8221; he said, referring to the UK&#8217;s relationship with the EU.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"8524919c-71a4-48e7-b223-39603b24f3db\">The CDU leader said he believes that in order to avoid Brexit, greater concessions on the free movement of people should be made in good time.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"83d06605-1cbb-43fc-ae9d-73638571d5be\"><strong>&#8216;My task is not to make Trump happy&#8217;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"0949e841-1d84-4e46-9d07-6eebfbfe5f62\">As for Donald Trump, Merz claimed that the American president&#8217;s transparent, transactional approach meant that negotiating with him would be &#8220;very easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"ed6bfcd9-9e10-4b8d-9c9f-8938300c753d\">Brussels should respond to Washington&#8217;s threat of tariffs on EU exports, as it did in 2018 during Trump&#8217;s first term, with a targeted response that would &#8220;inflict enough pain to concentrate minds,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"de4d760d-57a6-4bdd-860a-d7009163dd92\">On defense spending, he was reluctant to commit to higher figures, recognizing that it would be hard enough to meet NATO&#8217;s base of 2% of GDP when a special fund expires in 2028, but conceded that in the long run &#8220;it has to be more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"b2405f7f-b52d-452b-9157-96f31a1ab0c6\">Asked what he would do if the US insisted that Germany move faster, the CDU leader replied: &#8220;It is not my job to make President Trump happy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"49615fed-6445-44a3-9a27-78d4ea0bf8f0\">Meanwhile, Merz also downplayed calls from EU partners for changes to fiscal rules to allow for more defense spending or even joint borrowing, saying: &#8220;Let&#8217;s be very skeptical and critical about this. I don&#8217;t see it in the foreseeable future,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"d09ded1a-a3f0-48fe-bea8-f425fb9f3c75\"><strong>Merz is cautious on the Ukraine issue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"9531a434-b7c1-45ce-9f88-c404c3dc73a5\">The deployment of peacekeepers to Ukraine &#8220;could be an option,&#8221; but &#8220;only after a credible ceasefire,&#8221; Merz argued, stressing that &#8220;a country at war is not a potential NATO member&#8221; in relation to the security guarantees demanded by Kiev.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"e04c148b-9e4d-4c89-8fba-96978641c96a\">He admitted that, if asked, he &#8220;would like to see Ukraine as a peaceful country in NATO,&#8221; but added that it was &#8220;too early&#8221; to consider accepting a country that did not have full control over its territory, at least until the United States clarified its policy.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"6483654d-5968-43ba-bb11-02cb48f859c6\">Nevertheless, Merz emphasized that he was in favor of the US proposal to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"ae3ceebe-66f2-44c6-ac6e-d90e96b923f3\"><strong>Single market, but only for Germany?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"b047be8d-f1f2-4804-988f-c6168729822a\">Despite his fervent support for EU proposals to facilitate capital flows in the single market, Merz rejected as &#8220;extremely unfriendly&#8221; the proposed takeover of Commerzbank, one of Germany&#8217;s largest lenders, by Italy&#8217;s UniCredit.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"8cb014d1-5683-46fe-8cc1-bfc45e715f76\">Far from defending Germany&#8217;s national champions, Merz&#8217;s eagerness to inject a bit of American-style crony capitalism into Germany&#8217;s dazed model is genuine, according to <em>The Economist<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"21c85a23-4f3c-4ecb-ad71-ad436520b061\">During his decade in the private sector, he remains particularly comfortable in boardrooms, where he was chairman of the German arm of asset manager BlackRock, during which time he became a multimillionaire.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"ab709199-6ef7-4b21-a7cf-0d8e062740df\">Merz left politics in the 2000s after Angela Merkel&#8217;s CDU defeated him in the struggle for power, but when Merkel resigned as party leader in 2018, Merz shocked the political world and ran for office.<\/p>\n<p data-block-id=\"a1441878-a8c9-47f6-9f80-122df28b3414\">When it comes to relations with the AfD, Merz seems relaxed. According to him, if the economy and irregular migration improve, the AfD will shrink and reach a point where it will no longer be in parliament (less than 5% of the vote).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 23, CDU leader Friedrich Merz, who is expected to become the new chancellor of Germany after the early federal elections, spoke to The Economist.
