Olaf Scholz says it is not sensible to supply the missiles without a deployment of German troops. “That's a line I don't want to cross,” he says.
The conservatives are seeking to open cracks in the coalition government. They want to present a new motion before Parliament to vote again tomorrow on a shipment of the Taurus missiles that they demand. The German Chancellor will meet this Friday in Berlin with the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and Polish Prime Minister, Donald Tusk.
