In Deutschland kaum beachtet, schlägt die Unabhängigkeitserklärung Friedrich Merz vom Amerika Donald Trumps in den USA anhaltend hohe Wellen.
Friedrich Merz's statements during the German federal election campaign, particularly his declaration of Europe's independence from the United States, have sparked significant attention and debate in the U.S. While barely noticed in Germany, his comments have been met with a mix of admiration and skepticism in the U.S. His assertion that his top priority is to help Europe achieve independence from the U.S. has been described as unprecedented, especially for a committed transatlanticist. U.S. analysts express doubt about Merz's ability to follow through on his statements, with concerns that Europe's failure to redefine its role in NATO could reinforce negative perceptions of Europe as weak and ineffective, aligning with U.S. President Donald Trump's views.
