German Minister Affirms US-Europe Ties Stronger

At the Munich Security Conference (Feb 13–15, 2026), German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul reaffirmed that Europe’s ties with the United States remain stronger than those with China amid debate over US tariffs. He cited rising German investment in China—Munich-area investment in Beijing topped €7 billion Jan–Nov 2025, a 55.5% increase from €4.5 billion—and Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to visit China this month to discuss market access and cooperation.
