GERMANY is set to rearm in a way not seen since World War II after likely next chancellor Friedrich Merz said his government would vastly increase defence spending.

Conservative Merz and his probable future coalition partners from the centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) said Tuesday they wanted to ease Germany's strict constitutional "debt brake" to boost the defence budget by hundreds of billions of euros over the next years.

The announcement came just over a week after national elections and while Europe is fretting over its own defence and a weakening of the US security umbrella.

The plans were revealed as part of speeded-up talks between Merz's centre-right CDU/CSU bloc and the Social Democrats over a possible new governing alliance.
