US President Donald Trump, after meeting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House, said the Ukraine war would not have started under his leadership and compared it to “two kids fighting in a park.” He signaled possible sanctions on both Russia and Ukraine, stating, “It takes two to tango,” and hinted at a personal deadline for action.
Trump criticized Elon Musk over his opposition to the tax cut bill and NASA appointments, saying he was “disappointed.” On trade, Trump said a deal with the EU was likely, though a 50% tariff remained on the table.
He confirmed plans to visit China after a call with President Xi Jinping, noting trade talks were ongoing. Trump emphasized that ending the Ukraine war was his top priority, while Chancellor Merz underlined Germany’s continued support for Ukraine and said, “The US is the key actor.”
