EU's 'moment of truth' as leaders debate virus rescue

European leaders warned Friday that the future of their union was at stake as they embarked on a summit to thrash out the terms of a huge post-coronavirus economic rescue plan. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel turned 66 as her 26 colleagues returned to Brussels, but she was not there to celebrate, with a planned 750-billion-euro stimulus package on the line. Arriving at the European Council, where the leaders met with reduced teams and under social distancing measures, France's President Emmanuel Macron described it as a "moment of truth".
