Trump slams Merz, Germany after chancellor’s Iran ‘humiliation’ remarks
Trump said Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and accused Merz of misrepresenting his stance after the chancellor criticized U.S. negotiations.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for claiming Iran has "humiliated" the United States during the ongoing war.
- Speaking to students in Marsberg on Monday, Merz argued the United States is being "humiliated" by Iranian leadership after fruitless peace negotiations in Islamabad yielded no results.
- Last week, Trump canceled sending Vice President JD Vance to Pakistan for further negotiations, citing the Iranians' failure to provide an "affirmative commitment" regarding nuclear weapons.
