Germany returns "again to the international stage"
Chancellor Merz's government statement before the start of the NATO summit

According to Chancellor Merz, the world perceives a "new determination" on the part of Germany, thanks to the new government. In his government statement, he called for a ceasefire in Gaza and determination towards Russia.

Just a few weeks after the formation of the new federal government, Germany has "returned to the European and international stage," according to Chancellor Friedrich Merz. "We have shown our international partners that they can trust us," the German chancellor said in a government statement to the Bundestag. "This new determination is felt all over the world and is very much welcomed by our partners and friends."

Merzi delivered a government statement on the upcoming NATO summit and the subsequent EU summit. Germany can contribute to shaping global development in the coming years through its alliances, he declared. This requires a dual objective: "We need strength and credibility, both at home and abroad."

Merzi again called for dignified treatment of people in the Gaza Strip, "especially women, children and the elderly." He declared that now is the right time to achieve a ceasefire in the region.

At the same time, referring to Iran, he asserted that Israel has the right to defend its existence and the security of its citizens. "Without Iran, October 7, 2023 would not have been possible," the Chancellor declared. Iran supports Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi militia.

Merz: Russia lacks the will for peace

Regarding Ukraine, Merzi condemned the recent Russian airstrikes. "A true and lasting peace requires a will for peace from all sides," he declared. However, with the new wave of attacks against Ukrainian civilians, Russia has demonstrated "in a barbaric way" that it "currently lacks that will for peace."

At the same time, Merzi rejected criticism that diplomatic means are not being exhausted in the Ukraine conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin understands only "the language of force," Merzi declared. "And that is why working for peace now means speaking that language as well." "Surrendering to aggression and abandoning your country" is not a solution.

"Customs tariffs benefit no one"

Regarding the tariff dispute with the US, Merzi expressed optimism about the possibility of reaching an agreement by early July. "However, if this is not possible, we are also prepared with a number of options," he declared: "The EU can and will defend its interests."

However, his impression after talks with US President Donald Trump is that the US is also interested in continuing to cooperate with Europe, and especially Germany, on economic issues. "Tariffs benefit no one. They harm everyone," Merz stressed. It is therefore in everyone's interest that the trade conflict with the US does not escalate./DW
