Merz calls on Trump to extend his influence from the Middle East to the war in Ukraine

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has called on President Donald Trump to show the same determination in resolving the war in Ukraine as he did in the Middle East peace process.

Merz made this appeal in Egypt ahead of a summit meeting with Trump and other international leaders aimed at consolidating the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The chancellor emphasized that the united front presented by the international community showed that an end to the war was possible if countries worked together.
