President Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, suggesting he should focus on German affairs rather than comment on the Middle East conflict. Trump stated that the war on Iran is making the world, including Germany, safer, while emphasizing that Merz should be concerned with the Ukraine war and internal issues in Germany. The tension between the US and Germany has escalated following Merz's criticisms of the American strategy in Iran.
