Merz announced the end of the Pax Americana era for European countries

The long period of peace in Western countries under the hegemony of the United States (Pax Americana) is coming to an end. This was announced on December 13 by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the congress of the Christian Social Union (CSU) party, which is part of the ruling bloc.

"The decades of Pax Americana are pretty much over for us in Germany. Nostalgia won't help. This is a fact! The Americans are now very aggressively defending their interests. And that's why we now have to defend our own," he said.
