1:36:15Now PlayingGerman lawmakers will vote on a bill Tuesday that would unlock hundreds of billions of euros in debt-financed defense and infrastructure spending in Europe’s biggest economy. Conservative Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz and the Social Democrats last week sealed an agreement with the Greens that should secure the two-thirds majority needed for the law to pass the lower house of parliament, or Bundestag, barring any last-minute surprises. President Donald Trump said the US and Russia are already talking about dividing “assets” as part of a push to end the fighting in Ukraine, the latest sign that he may be preparing to sacrifice Kyiv’s interests when he speaks with Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. One objective of the call is expected to be getting the Russian president to agree to a 30-day ceasefire that Trump proposed this month and Ukraine has agreed to. Putin has been noncommittal so far.
