The conversation between the two heads of state went well. As at their last meeting, Merz mainly played a supporting role.

Despite this, Trump emphasized his sympathy for Germany and praised German support in relation to the Iran conflict. In contrast to Spain and the United Kingdom in particular, Germany came out well, according to Dr. Hendrik Ohnesorges' concluding assessment.
