President Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as the rift between the United States and one of its closest European allies widens over Berlin’s criticism of the war on Iran.

The US president suggested on Thursday that Merz should focus on German and European affairs rather than comment on the conflict in the Middle East.
