German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said he will continue to cooperate with US President Donald Trump, even after a public disagreement between the two leaders over the war in Iran.
In a television interview set to air Sunday night, Merz told the public broadcaster ARD: “I am not giving up on working on the transatlantic relationship. Nor am I giving up on working with Donald Trump.”
The remarks come amid tensions between Berlin and Washington, with Trump recently criticizing Germany’s stance on the conflict. Merz, however, downplayed the spat, signaling his commitment to maintaining ties despite the diplomatic friction.
