Germany learns the cost of provoking Trump

A series of European leaders have been singled out for criticism by a frustrated Donald Trump over recent months, said The Guardian. Currently, it’s Germany’s chancellor who “finds himself in Washington’s crosshairs”.

Friedrich Merz provoked the president’s wrath last week by telling a class of schoolchildren in his home region of Sauerland that America lacked a clear strategy in Iran and was being “humiliated”. Trump swiftly hit back, calling Merz “totally ineffective” and threatening to shrink America’s military presence in Germany.
