Donald Trump has slammed Germany as a 'broken country' after its chancellor, Friedrich Merz, suggested that Iran had 'humiliated' the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticised Merz for focusing on international affairs rather than addressing Germany's domestic challenges.
Trump's Remarks on Germany
Trump wrote: 'The Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where he has been totally ineffective!), and fixing his broken Country, especially Immigration and Energy, and less time on interfering with those that are getting rid of the Iran Nuclear threat, thereby making the World, including Germany, a safer place! President DJT.'
Context of the Dispute
The exchange follows comments by Chancellor Merz, who reportedly stated that Iran had 'humiliated' the US. Trump's response underscores ongoing tensions between the former US president and German leadership, particularly regarding foreign policy approaches.
