48:25Now PlayingGermany’s foreign minister sought to repair relations between President Donald Trump and Chancellor Friedrich Merz, saying the government in Berlin supports the US aim to ensure Iran can’t obtain a nuclear weapon. In an interview with Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, Johann Wadephul said the US-led campaign in Iran has already disrupted the Islamic Republic’s ability to move toward a nuclear weapon and “more or less destroyed” the country’s missile program. Despite tensions between the two leaders, relations remain “solid,” he said. German officials so far have reacted calmly to Trump’s announcement that the US will cut its military presence in Germany by more than 5,000 troops, even as Republican allies and NATO countries questioned the move.
