Oval Office meeting/ Merz rejects accusations of "excessive respect" for Trump

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has defended his behavior towards US President Donald Trump during his visit to the White House in Washington this week, following accusations of "excessive respect" for the American leader. 

"When the cameras are rolling, I will not start debating with the US president ," Merz said at a campaign rally in the town of Stockach during a campaign event ahead of Sunday's state election in Baden-Württemberg.

Merz explained that he continued to focus on shared values ??in his relations with the US, given the fact that "Europe remains dependent on the Americans at the moment when it comes to defense."

Merz's talks with Trump at the White House focused on the war in Iran and trade issues amid the US president's unpredictable tariff policy. /CNA
