Trump scolds Germany's Merz for criticism of Iran war
"If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago."
"The problem with conflicts like this is always you don't just have to get in - you have to get out again. We saw that very painfully in Afghanistan for 20 years."
"Merz's criticism represented a sharp departure from his hawkish pro-Israel policies, as he suggested that Washington is being humiliated by Tehran's negotiating tactics."
President Trump criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for opposing the US-Israeli war on Iran, asserting it is essential to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump expressed frustration with European allies for not fully supporting the conflict. Merz labeled the military campaign as ill-considered, referencing the difficulties of exiting such conflicts, as seen in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also noted that Iran's negotiating tactics are humiliating for the US. The war has led to rising oil prices, impacting Germany's economy amid ongoing crises.
