Leader of the EU27 has clashed on a number of issues at hand since the COVID-19 outbreak began, not least the way in which the looming financial crisis should be addressed.

He said the bloc was left with “no choice” but to establish a fund that “could issue common debt with a common guarantee” to provide financial aid to countries according to their needs as opposed to the size of their economies.
