French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday expressed hope for an agreement on a post-coronavirus recovery plan, on the fourth day of a marathon EU summit in Brussels.
Painful discussions resumed "with the possible hopes of a compromise. Nothing has been agreed yet, so I will remain extremely cautious", said Macron as he arrived to the talks.
Merkel said: "Last night... we put in place a framework for a possible agreement. This is a step forward and it gives hope that an agreement can be reached today, or at least that an agreement is possible."
