US President Donald Trump didn't like Chancellor Friedrich Merz's latest statements on the Iran war, that much was clear from Trump's recent rant on Truth Social, where he claimed the German leader "doesn't know what he's talking about!" So what happened? On Monday, Merz said the US "clearly have no strategy" in dealing with Tehran, saying "an entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership."
The German leader's words did not go down well with Trump, who quickly threatened to reduce the US troop presence in Germany. By Friday, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had ordered the withdrawal of around 5,000 American troops over the next six to 12 months.
