Friedrich Merz (CDU), the new Chancellor of Germany, criticized the support of the US government for the AfD. Moreover, “absurd considerations of the Federal Republic” would be distributed. He announced a clarifying phone call with US President Donald Trump.
Merz referred to the support of the US government for the AfD and the criticism of the United States about the classification of the AfD by constitutional protection as a right -wing extremist. “I will call the US president on Thursday,” said Merz. Until now he has not known Trump personally, but will “openly” talk to him.
The US government had to “stay” from German domestic politics, he emphasized in an interview about ZDF.
“I want to encourage and encourage the US government to make domestic politics in Germany be domestic politics and to stay largely in these party -political considerations.”
He had never “disturbed himself in the American election campaign and participated on one side”. To support the United States for the AfD, he said: “Until now I have always had the impression that they can distinguish between extremist parties and parties in the political center.”
