Friedrich Merz urged the United States and Europe to rebuild trust as global tensions grow, arguing that neither side can face today’s challenges alone.

Those tensions were fuelled by moves from Donald Trump, including tariff threats linked to Greenland. Merz stressed that cooperation through NATO remains essential as great-power rivalry intensifies.
