BERLIN (Reuters) – German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday she hopes that European Union leaders can agree on the bloc’s next budget and a recovery fund at a summit scheduled for July 17/18.
“Myriad talks” remain to be held, Merkel told a joint news conference with French President Emmanuel Macron, but added: “We hope we can find a solution, even if there is still a long way to go.”
