Germany needs to modify its spending policies due to global developments, including international humanitarian aid. Finance Minister Christian Lindner announced that the country must focus more on internal security and cannot afford to be as involved globally as before, given its economic limits.

Germany must adapt its spending policy to respond to global developments and adjust spending for international humanitarian aid, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Wednesday.
