After securing the largest share in the German election, Friedrich Merz has met with President Emmanuel Macron in the French capital. The pair discussed European security in the face of a shifting US policy on Ukraine.
Germany's likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz made a surprise visit to Paris to meet French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday.
The visit comes just days after his conservative CDU/CSU bloc emerged as the biggest party in terms of electoral seats after the German election.
