Germany reported that the phone call between Merz and Trump had been canceled
A phone call between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and U.S. President Donald Trump, scheduled for September 9, unexpectedly did not take place.
Cornelius did not specify the exact circumstances, noting only that the issue likely goes beyond scheduling conflicts. A new date for the call has not yet been set.
It is noted that the planned conversation between Merz and Trump was intended to focus primarily on the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. According to Cornelius, the chancellor wanted to emphasize that the U.S. can continue to count on the full solidarity of Germany and Europe.
This was stated by German government spokesperson Stefan Cornelius, as reported by Bild.
