Key points:
– German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump was overshadowed by the drama surrounding Trump and Elon Musk.
– Merz had arrived in Washington with a full agenda that ranged from strengthening relations between the U.S. and Germany to tariffs, the Russia-Ukraine war and NATO defense spending.
– Despite the focus on Trump and Musk, the visit was widely considered a success for Merz.
“Having avoided an escalation in the Oval Office is already an achievement these days” sums it up quite nicely.
> Having avoided an escalation in the Oval Office is already an achievement these days
lol what a child
Merz said “a Trump trip to Berlin is already being planned” but he can kindly stay the fuck out of my city, thanks
Got to love how American media know their readers and sum up the article in the beginning. Anyway, by reading it the main points of Merz’s successful trip seem to be
>the trip laid good foundations between the leaders. “There seems to be some common grounds between Trump and Merz, which could be the seeds for a more constructive relationship,”
>Merz even appeared to get some compliments from Trump, with the president commending him for his English skills and saying that while “difficult,” the German leader was a “very good man to deal with.”
>Following the meeting, Merz appeared satisfied, saying in a social media post that the atmosphere was “really good,” and that the two have much in common. “I am coming back with the feeling that we can speak on the phone any time,”
Probably Merz was expecting a colder “welcome”, if not hostile.
Merz not saying much is already news. He has a habit to talk himself “um Kopf und Kragen”.
