BERLIN - European Union leaders have agreed that conservative German candidate Manfred Weber will not become president of the bloc’s executive Commission, Germany’s Die Welt daily reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the decision.
If confirmed, the compromise would be a blow to Chancellor Angela Merkel, who had backed Weber’s bid to replace Jean-Claude Juncker. Weber is the leader of the European People’s Party , the conservative bloc that won most seats in the election and which includes Merkel’s Christian Democrats . The bloc’s economies are struggling again and its leaders are grappling with emboldened eurosceptic parties, security challenges from Russia, economic competition from China and trade frictions with the United States.
