Germany 's likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz says his conservatives have struck a deal with Greens on boosting defence and infrastructure spending.

Merz's CDU and the Social Democrats are currently in coalition talks.

The Greens had threatened to withhold their support citing insufficient action on the environment in the spending plan.

Fraying Europe- US ties under President Donald Trump and his pivot away from supporting Ukraine fuelled calls for Germany to ramp up military funding.
