Donald Trump attacks German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. "He thinks it's acceptable for Iran to possess a nuclear weapon. He doesn't know what he's talking about! If Iran possessed a nuclear weapon, the entire world would be held hostage," the US president wrote on his social media account, Truth.

"I'm doing something with Iran, right now, that other nations, or other presidents, should have done a long time ago. No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both economically and otherwise," Trump emphasized. His venomous response came after the chancellor claimed that in the Middle East conflict , the Iranians "have humiliated the United States."

After Trump's attack, Merz countered, stating: "The personal relationship between me and the American president, at least from my point of view, has not changed and remains good." "From the beginning," he explained in a press conference, "I have had doubts about starting a war in Iran, and I've even said so. We in Germany and Europe are suffering significantly from the closure of the Hormuz Canal, which immediately affects energy supplies and has a massive impact on our economy," Merz explained. "Therefore," he concluded, "I am pushing for the conflict to be put aside as quickly as possible."
