Tensions between US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are escalating, with impacts across defence, diplomacy, and trade. After a public clash over the Iran war, Washington announced a troop withdrawal from Germany, while a key Tomahawk missile deployment now appears unlikely. Adding to the strain, the US has proposed higher tariffs on European automobiles, a move that could heavily affect Germany’s economy. As NATO allies watch closely, questions are being raised about whether these steps are part of a broader strategy to pressure partners over Iran and burden-sharing.
