Merz postpones call with Trump after president praises AfD party
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is refusing to engage with President Donald Trump after Trump celebrated the victory of a party accused by Merz of promoting “ethnic cleansing.” Merz publicly challenged the far-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party during a parliamentary debate shortly after AfD secured a significant 44% of the vote in the Saxony-Anhalt state election, outperforming Merz’s own party, which received 17%.
