YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs the relationship between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and US President Donald Trump on the rocks?!. Is the exchange of political fire that saw Merz describe the US as “humiliated” by Iran – and Trump respond with troop withdrawals and tariffs – just a blip? Or could this become a transatlantic relationship meltdown? Berlin Briefing Co-Hosts Nina Haase and Michaela Küfner welcome DW’s Washington Bureau Chief Ines Pohl in the Berlin Briefing studio to analyse Trump’s latest blows against Germany. Together they evaluate how this tension could further harm Merz’ political record. 12 months into his first term the German Chancellor has hit rock bottom in the polls – can he bounce back?
