🇩🇪📍 Germany’s Great Repositioning: The Rise of "Deutschland zuerst"

Before Germany had officially declared a winner in the elections on February 23, Friedrich Merz, the new German chancellor, made a profound set of remarks.
In a television interview, Merz said his objective was to “strengthen Europe” and gain “independence” from the US. He then said that Trump’s policies signal that America has become “indifferent” to what happens to Europe.
