Trump Criticizes German Chancellor Merz Over Iran War Comments

President Donald Trump has criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz following Merz's comments on the U.S.-led war in Iran. Merz had suggested that Iran's leadership was "humiliating" the United States in negotiations aimed at ending the conflict. In response, Trump stated that Merz "doesn't know what he's talking about" and accused him of implying that it is acceptable for Iran to possess nuclear weapons. Trump emphasized that his actions are intended to prevent Iran from obtaining such capabilities. The exchange underscores growing tensions between the U.S. and Germany over foreign policy approaches, particularly concerning Iran.
