Relations with US have become more difficult under Trump

Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Saturday admitted that ties with the US had become strained since Donald Trump's return to the White House, but he said that Germany wanted to remain in NATO. "We know that things have become more difficult, that relations with the Americans have changed since Trump became President of the United States for a second time. But precisely because it has become more difficult, we want Germany to make an especially reliable contribution to preserving NATO," Merz said. #Merz #friedrichmerz #germany #usa #us #trump #nato Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj0TppyxzQWm9JbMg3CP8Rg/join For more: https://www.cgtn.com/europe Social Media X: https://twitter.com/CGTNEurope Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cgtneuropeofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cgtneurope/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cgtneurope Feedly: https://feedly.com/i/subscription/feed%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.cgtn.com%2Frss%2Feurope%2Frss.xml OTT iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1466868682 Apple TV: https://www.cgtnnow.com/help/using-the-apple-tv-app/apple-tv-apps Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgtnamericanow Android TV: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgtnamericanow Roku: https://channelstore.roku.com/en-gb/details/d62729a397c999f496fb208aaf19d782/cgtn-now Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TM1H636/ Our Shows RAZOR: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvPxSZWJo7MVrWR7bLC45FQ Podcasts: https://www.cgtn.com/special/CGTN-EUROPE-PODCASTS.html #CGTN #CGTNLIVE #CHINANEWS #EuropeNews
