Preparing for potential early elections, Merz, who enjoys support from a significant portion of the electorate, announced his intention to establish new agreements with Donald Trump after he becomes President of the United States again. Merz stated that these agreements would assist Germany in regaining influence and more decisively defining its national interests, as reported by Bloomberg. "Trump has a good memory. The current government will lose the trust of the new American administration, and Scholz is effectively already in a 'lame duck' status," noted the German politician.
In an interview with Stern, Merz is convinced that Trump has the potential to become a strategic partner for Germany. He emphasized that new "pragmatic agreements" with Washington would strengthen defense and economic cooperation between the countries. The politician also mentioned the possibility of contracts for servicing American F-35 fighter jets in Germany, which would create favorable conditions for both sides.
Merz criticized Scholz's government for its foreign policy miscalculations, particularly due to support for Democrat Kamala Harris during the U.S. elections.
Experts point out that the increasing support among Germans for parties such as the far-right "Alternative for Germany" and the leftist Alliance of Sahra Wagenknecht indicates voter disillusionment with the policies of traditional parties, which could affect the results of the upcoming elections.
