Morning headlines were dominated by the fallout from the Munich Security Conference, where editors highlighted a 'transatlantic divorce' following Senator Marco Rubio’s appearances. The narrative shifted from the previous day's focus on Nawalny to a broader sense of European strategic isolation, exacerbated by reports of the Shah’s son calling for US military intervention in Iran—a move viewed with caution by German leadership. By early afternoon, editorial priority centered on the deepening rift between the CDU and the Trump administration. Friedrich Merz’s meeting with California Governor Gavin Newsom drew sharp rebukes from Trump allies, while media outlets analyzed the tactical failure of Western forces against Ukrainian-style drones in Estonia. Domestic attention briefly pivoted to a corruption scandal within the AfD and the sudden release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files, which sparked investigative retrospectives into his past ties to Bill Clinton. In the evening, the focus returned to security and migration, as headlines confirmed the extension of German border controls until autumn. Late reports emphasized the lack of concrete military commitments for Ukraine and a growing consensus among editors that the old world order has permanently shifted toward European autonomy.
