German Chancellor Claims Relationship With Trump Is Good, Despite Comments About Iran
Authored by Victoria Friedman via The Epoch Times,
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on April 29 said that he is on good terms with U.S. President Donald Trump, despite Merz's recent remarks about the Iran war and Trump's criticism of the German chancellor.
“From my perspective, my personal relationship with the U.S. President remains good,” Merz told reporters.
“I simply had doubts from the start about what was begun with the war in Iran. That is why I have made that clear.”
On April 27, the German chancellor said that the United States had been “humiliated” by Tehran after U.S. officials agreed to travel to Pakistan for peace talks.
“The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skilful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” Merz said during a talk to students in Marsberg, Germany.

But the Pentagon has consistently downplayed and rejected such negative assessments.

That report found that the US military tore through nearly half its Patriot interceptor inventory while heavily draining multiple other critical missile stockpiles.
The Atlantic article presents a Vance team which carefully seeks t...

Iran-Krieg als Ende des Petro-Dollars? Nur alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen! (DZ Bank)
|
|
|
Die Diskussion über das (vermeintliche) Ende der Vormachtstellung des Dollars gehört längst zum Alltag am Devisenmarkt. Mit dem Ausbruch des Iran-Kriegs schienen plötzlich alle USD-Zweifel wieder vergessen und die US-Währung war weltweit wieder als ultimativer sicherer Hafen begehrt. Die jüngste Flucht in die Sicherheit und insbesondere die Liquidität des Dollars ist unbestreitbar. Dennoch kursiert die These, dass der Konflikt im Persischen Golf den Wendepunkt für die globale USD-Rolle darstellen könnte. Dreh- und Angelpunkt ist hierbei der „Petro-Yuan“, der den „Petro-Dollar“ verdrängen soll, was auf die USD-Dominanz in anderen Bereichen ausstrahlen würde.
