“We will expedite our French-German initiatives, and we will enhance our capabilities. Along with tanks, combat aircraft, and long-range missiles, we will set up a French-German defense and security council that will convene regularly to address our shared strategic challenges operationally,” Macron stated in Paris during a joint press conference with Merz.
