France and Germany committed Sunday to giving Ukraine 'unwavering support' and to strengthening the European Union as they sought to overcome differences over defense, energy and economic issues on the 60th anniversary of their post-World War II friendship treaty.

Speaking during a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron said he does not rule out sending Leclerc tanks to Ukraine and has asked his defense minister to "work on" the idea. France and Germany also pledged to "work together for a European Union that is more resilient, more sustainable and more capable to act independently." The treaty that sealed a bond between longtime enemies France and Germany 60 years ago underpinned today's EU.

In their joint declaration, Paris and Berlin committed to "stepping up our investments in the technologies of tomorrow, particularly renewable and low carbon energies." They especially committed to develop a "joint road map" on hydrogen. Aside from Ukraine, the talks focused on Europe's response to the subsidies for U.S. electric car makers and other businesses in the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act.
