Germany’s Top Diplomat Says Merz, Trump Have ‘Solid’ Relations

Germany’s foreign minister sought to repair relations between President Donald Trump and Chancellor Friedrich Merz, saying the government in Berlin supports the US aim to ensure Iran can’t obtain a nuclear weapon.

Johann Wadephul said the US-led campaign in Iran has already disrupted the Islamic Republic’s ability to move toward a nuclear weapon and “more or less destroyed” the country’s missile program. Despite tensions between the two leaders, relations remain “solid,” he said.
