German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the U.S. remains a vital partner despite political shifts. He made the statement on Wednesday, ahead of a potential meeting with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
Merz stated he would tell Trump that Germany's new migration policy has been effective. He claimed it reduced the number of asylum seekers in Germany by roughly half.
The Chancellor emphasized that transatlantic ties are enduring. He cited shared history, culture, and closely linked trade and military alliances as the foundation.
