BERLIN, June 8 (Reuters) – German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron have concluded that the companies involved in building a joint fighter jet are unable to reach an agreement, two German government officials told Reuters on Monday.

Both leaders agreed that the countries involved in the project known as Future Combat Air System, or FCAS, would continue to develop a related drone system and data network, the sources added.

Macron’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.
