Caption: Trump Slams Merz Over Iran As Transatlantic Tensions Rise. U.S. President Donald Trump attacked German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over his stance on the war with Iran. Trump accused Merz of suggesting Iran could have nuclear weapons, calling his comments misguided. He defended his own policy, warning a nuclear-armed Iran would threaten global security. The clash followed Merz’s criticism that the US had been “humiliated” by Iran. The dispute highlighted growing tensions between Washington and European allies. Europe has resisted deeper involvement in the conflict, stressing it is not its war. Kaja Kallas previously said Europe seeks to avoid an open-ended conflict despite its strategic interests. The row reflected widening divisions over leadership, diplomacy and the future of transatlantic relations. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
