Trump and Merz

Chancellor Merz has confirmed that the US will not, for the time being, station Tomahawk missiles in Germany. According to Merz, this has nothing to do with his criticism of Trump.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has confirmed that the Tomahawk missiles, promised by former US President Joe Biden in 2024, will not be stationed in Germany, at least for the time being. "The Americans currently do not have enough of their own," Merz said on ARD's Caren Miosga show on Sunday.

"Objectively, there is almost no possibility of the US delivering weapons systems of this type." At the same time, he emphasized in an interview with ARD television, "Caren Miosga," that "the process is not over."

The Tomahawk medium-range missiles, which have a range as far as Russia, were supposed to strengthen Germany's deterrent capability until Europe develops its own such missiles. Regarding the US nuclear presence in Germany, Merz added on the ARD program that "there is absolutely no reduction." "There is no limitation on the American commitment to the nuclear threat in the defense of NATO territory. There is no doubt about that, at any time," he said.

Chancellor Merz also did not call the decision to withdraw more than 5,000 American soldiers from Germany, announced on Friday by US President Donald Trump, “new.” According to him, this is a contingent that Trump’s predecessor, Biden, had temporarily stationed and whose withdrawal had long been discussed. “Maybe it’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s nothing new,” Merz said.

"No connection" to statements about war in Iran

Merz denied a direct connection between Trump’s announcements and his critical statements about the war in Iran: “There is no connection.” He also reiterated his criticism of the US strategy towards Iran and defended the statement according to which Iran has “humiliated” the US. This statement Merz made to students last Monday in Germany, angering Donald Trump, who reacted sharply on his Truth Social network.

Speaking to ARD, Merz said that he is not giving up on his commitment to transatlantic relations: “I am not giving up on cooperation with Donald Trump,” Merz emphasized, and that he must accept that the American president has a different opinion. “But that does not change the fact that my conviction remains the same: the Americans are for us the most important partners in the North Atlantic Alliance,” Merz emphasized.
