The quote clearly supports building European AI infrastructure (“AI-Gigafactories”) and says Europe is “far too dependent” on the United States. That directly implies support for sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce reliance on U.S.-based providers/technology.

The quote supports building 'AI-Gigafactories' and reducing dependence on the United States, but it does not explicitly mention 'sovereign' AI infrastructure or dependence on 'US cloud providers' specifically.

The official Bundesregierung transcript of Friedrich Merz’s speech at the Schwarz Ecosystem Summit in Berlin on September 26, 2025 attributes these remarks to him and contains both underlying passages: one about enabling innovation in AI-Gigafactories and another saying Germany/Europe are much too dependent on hardware and software from the United States. The prompt’s [...] omissions are faithful to the source, and the English line is a fair summary rather than a literal translation.
