Brussels, the glass of the stirrup between Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron

BRUSSELS – The stirrup glass has the citrusy and slightly spicy flavor of Belgian beer, the pale one that is so popular with Angela Merkel. La Cancelliera sips it in the elegant half-light of the Amigo hotel. It is half past two in the morning, the after dinner of the Council has already begun a while ago, around midnight. It is perhaps his last continental summit, provided that the government is really born in Berlin at the beginning of December.
