Merz-Trump Talks in DC Overshadowed by Iran Conflict

President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz met on Tuesday. During the meeting, Merz told Trump he wants the European Union's trade agreement with the US to be implemented quickly but that the bloc can't accept a deal with worse conditions. Merz also said that the US couldn't impose prohibitive trade measures just on Spain, after Trump threatened to cut off all trade with Madrid after the country denied access to its military bases for the American bombing campaign against Iran.
