Germany is considering dropping out of a €100 billion fighter jet production project with France, The Times reported Wednesday.
According to the report, the move would mean Germany potentially joining a rival program with the UK. As a nod to the British side, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz could lift a veto on delivering Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to Saudi Arabia, which the UK considers a critical strategic priority.
Such a pact would be a major coup for London and reflect the growing rift between France and Germany.
