German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has urged Europe to reassess its global partnerships in response to evolving relations with the United States. Merz emphasized that Europe needs to adjust its strategic interests and move beyond 'false nostalgia.'

The Chancellor highlighted the importance of Europe's alliance with the U.S., though he noted that it is now more conditional, requiring Europe to demonstrate strength and self-reliance. This change, he pointed out, necessitates a strategic reorientation towards forming newer and more robust global partnerships.

Merz's remarks at the German foreign ministry in Berlin reflect the shifting geopolitical landscape and emphasize Europe's need to forge and strengthen alliances aggressively worldwide.
