On May 31, German Chancellor Merz will travel to Washington next week to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump, nearly a month after he took office. A German government spokesman said in an emailed statement on Saturday that Merz will travel to Washington next Thursday to attend a meeting at the White House, with topics including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the situation in the Middle East and trade policy among the talks being the focus of the talks. Since taking charge of the German government, Merz has met with allies in France, Poland, Northern Europe and Ukraine across Europe, but he has yet to cross the Atlantic, despite his pledges to improve relations with the Trump administration.
