Trump criticises Merz, advises him to focus on war in Ukraine instead of Iran
US President Donald Trump has once again criticised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over his remarks on Iran and advised him to pay more attention to the war in Ukraine and the situation in his own country.
Source: Trump on his social media platform Truth Social, as reported by European Pravda
Details: Trump pointed to Merz's "ineffectiveness" in ending the Russo-Ukrainian war and in addressing problems related to immigration and energy in Germany.
Quote: "The Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where he has been totally ineffective!), and fixing his broken Country, especially Immigration and Energy, and less time on interfering with those that are getting rid of the Iran Nuclear threat, thereby making the World, including Germany, a safer place!"
Background:
- Earlier, Trump said that Merz "thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon" and added that "he doesn't know what he's talking about".
- The US president's remarks came after Merz said that the Iranian leadership was humiliating the entire American people and again criticised the US for lacking a strategy in the war.
- Against this background, Trump threatened to reduce the number of US troops in Germany.
