Tone in coalition tightens ahead of Taurus vote. Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) rejects it because he fears that it will drag Germany into war.

In the first vote on a Union application for a Taurus delivery three weeks ago, FDP MP Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann voted yes. The leaders of the FDP and the Greens confirmed on Tuesday that their groups are in favor of a delivery ofTaurus. They still refused to approve the Union proposal because they consider it a tactical game.
