Merz did everything possible to make Trump come to his senses
Journalists asked the German Foreign Minister what role Friedrich Merz played in the fact that the American leader ultimately changed his position on Putin.
"Friedrich Merz played a big role in this because he made it clear from the very beginning that he supported Ukraine," the German diplomat said.
