Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz meets with Trump in Washington to address NATO spending, Ukraine and trade tensions
Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), expressed support for former U.S. President Donald Trump's potential return to the White House, suggesting that Trump's policies could benefit Germany, particularly in terms of NATO defense spending and trade relations. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Merz indicated that a Trump presidency might push European countries to increase their defense budgets, aligning with Trump's previous demands for NATO allies to meet their spending commitments. Additionally, Merz believes that Trump's approach to trade could lead to fairer trade practices, which would be advantageous for Germany. This stance marks a notable shift, as Merz had previously criticized Trump, but now sees potential benefits in his policies for Germany's economic and security interests.
