Quotes Chancellor Merz:

We are on the same page in terms of getting this terrible regime in Tehran away, and we will talk about the day after, what will happen then, if they are out, we have to talk about our trade agreement, which I would like to be in place as soon as possible. And we have to talk about Ukraine. There are too many bad guys in this world, actually. And this is an issue we have to talk about, because we all want to see this war coming to an end as soon as possible. But Ukraine has to preserve its territory, and there are security interests and well, we will talk about that.

(the war) is damaging our economies. This is true for the oil prices, and this is true for the gas prices as well. So that’s the reason why we all that this war will come to an end as soon as possible, and we are hoping that the Israelian and the American army are doing the right things to bring this to an end and to have really a new government in place who was coming back to peace and freedom?

We are trying to convince Spain to catch up with the 3% or 3.5% which we agreed on in NATO. And as the President said, it’s correct, Spain is the only one who is not willing to accept that, and we are trying to convince them that this is part of our common security, that we all have to comply with this numbers. And this is 3.5 for military and another 1.5 for our military infrastructure.

we are supporting the United States and Israel to get rid of this terrible terrorist regime, and we are looking forward to a day after and we have to talk about the strategy, what is What is following after this? This regime is away, and we have to strategize on this entire region, and we are having a high interest in common approach and common work and what we can do. And this is this is important, not just for the Americans. This is extremely important for Europe and extremely important for Israel and their security. So we are really looking forward to find ways how to deal about the day after.
