Merz Slams US Lawmakers: Blind to Russia’s Military Buildup
Following a White House meeting with President Trump, German Chancellor Merz expressed concern that some U.S. lawmakers underestimate the scale of Russia’s military rearmament. He highlighted Russia’s increased defense spending and arms deals with North Korea and Iran, emphasizing the potential threat to NATO. Merz secured reassurances from President Trump regarding continued U.S. commitment to NATO and the presence of U.S. forces in Germany. This underscores Germany’s increased defense spending and continued reliance on the United States for security.
