  • Friedrich Merz has told Washington to stay out of his country's domestic politics ahead of his first phone call with Donald Trump.

In a recent interview with the German newspaper Bild, Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany's Christian Democratic Union (CDU), emphasized the importance of maintaining German sovereignty and warned against foreign interference in German domestic affairs.
