"I am not giving up on working on the transatlantic relationship. Nor am I giving up on working with Donald Trump. The US decision on troops had no connection with the recent disagreements."
"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."
"Criticism of the US-Israeli war against Iran from Merz and other European leaders has clearly aggravated Trump. Merz said Iran was humiliating Washington at the negotiating table."
Friedrich Merz, the German chancellor, emphasized his commitment to working with US President Donald Trump despite recent tensions regarding 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 perception of the US-Israeli war against Iran and confirmed the cancellation of a planned deployment of US Tomahawk missiles to Germany due to depleted arsenals. He maintained that cooperation in the future remains possible, even without certain US military assets.
