Trump agrees to attend Germany, per Merz's invitation
Talkin' Turkey with Trump and Merz
In a Nutshell: President Donald J. Trump has agreed to pay a visit to Deutschland, according to CDU's top dog, Friedrich Merz. Catching up over a hearty lunch at the White House, the duo chatted about various topics, with Trump showing an obvious interest in his old stomping grounds – Deutschland. Merz extended an invitation to the POTUS for a future visit, and lucky for us, Trump said "Ja, danke."
A Gift for the Old Man
Curious about President Trump's roots, Merz brought along a special gift – the birth certificate of the president's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, who was born in 1869 in Kallstadt, Palatinate, and later journeyed to the United States, transforming his moniker to Frederick. Merz presented this German heritage keepsake in a swanky golden frame during their interview in the Oval Office.
As for details on when the president will grace Germany with his presence, that tidbit is still under wraps, so keep your eyes peeled for official announcements from the White House or the German government. If you're itching for what went down during their tête-à-tête, check in with trusty sources for the latest updates.
It’s essential to remember that Friedrich Merz is a big-time player in the German politics scene, but ol' Friedrich ain't the one kibitzing with Trump now – that honor goes to Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Merz, being a former Chancellor candidate, may have been schmoozing with Trump, but let’s all get it straight – it's Chancellor Scholz who's the man of the hour.
