Rutte und Merz erkunden die Zukunft der NATO

Heute steht die Sicherheitslage in Europa im Fokus. Mark Rutte, der NATO-Generalsekretär, ist in Berlin und trifft den Kanzler. Dieses Gespräch ist für Friedrich Merz von großer Bedeutung, da die Frage im Raum steht, wie Europa sich verteidigen soll, falls Washington sich weiter zurückzieht.
Gordon Repinski erläutert die Erwartungen an das Treffen und die Rolle von eingefrorenem russischem Vermögen für die Ukraine dabei.

Im 200-Sekunden-Interview spricht Franziska Brantner, Co-Vorsitzende der Grünen, über Europas Verteidigungsfähigkeit. Sie erklärt, warum es wichtig ist, Sicherheitsgarantien für die Ukraine vorzubereiten und weshalb eine kleinere Gruppe von Ländern schneller handeln sollte.

Anschließend berichtet Marion Soletty von POLITICO in Frankreich über die Gespräche zwischen Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius und der neuen französischen Amtskollegin Catherine Vautrin. Das FCAS-Projekt, ein gemeinsamer Kampfjet, stagniert. Es geht um industrielle Führungsansprüche zwischen Dassault und Airbus und die Möglichkeit, noch in diesem Jahr eine Einigung zu erzielen.

Zum Abschluss ein Blick in die SPD, wo Generalsekretär Tim Klüssendorf mit einer wirtschaftsfreundlichen Rede überrascht und bei Arbeitgebern Zustimmung findet.

Das Berlin Playbook als Podcast gibt es jeden Morgen ab 5 Uhr. Gordon Repinski und das POLITICO-Team bieten politische Inhalte zum Hören – kompakt, international, hintergründig.
