Germany's Merz says not 'giving up on working with Donald Trump'
"I am not giving up on working on the transatlantic relationship. Nor am I giving up on working with Donald Trump. It may be being exaggerated a bit, but it's not new."
"The Americans themselves don't have enough at the moment. Objectively speaking, there is hardly any possibility from the US of relinquishing weapons systems of this kind."
Friedrich Merz emphasized his commitment to the transatlantic relationship and collaboration with Donald Trump, despite recent tensions over the war in Iran. He downplayed the significance of the US troop withdrawal announcement, stating it should not be viewed as retaliation. Merz criticized the US-Israeli war against Iran, which aggravated Trump, who responded negatively to Merz's comments. He also noted the cancellation of a planned deployment of US Tomahawk missiles to Germany due to depleted arsenals, while expressing hope for future cooperation.
