Friedrich Merz, leader of Germany's Union bloc, has secured a coalition deal with the Social Democrats to form a new government. The agreement, following months of political uncertainty, aims to boost economic growth, increase defense spending, tighten migration policies, and modernize Germany's bureaucracy. The coalition will prioritize reducing bureaucracy, cutting corporate taxes, and strengthening the economy. Merz emphasized Germany's commitment to fulfilling its defense obligations and strengthening the European Union.
