German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned of “a deep rift” between Europe and the United States, arguing that the latter “will not be powerful enough to go it alone.”
In his address at the Munich Security Conference Friday, Merz urged Europe and the U.S. to “repair and revive trans-Atlantic trust together” in what he referred to as an “era of great power rivalry.”
Switching to English as he addressed American “friends,” Merz nodded to Trump’s contentious relationship with NATO, insisting that “being a part of [the alliance] is not only Europe’s competitive advantage. It’s also the United States’ competitive advantage.”
“The culture war of the MAGA movement is not ours,” Merz continued. “Freedom of speech ends here with us when that speech goes against human dignity and the constitution. We do not believe in tariffs and protectionism, but in free trade.”
