German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set for his first official visit to the US, where he’ll meet President Trump to discuss Ukraine, trade tensions, and more. Meanwhile, Cologne braces for a massive WWII bomb evacuation.
Germany’s new Chancellor Friedrich Merz is heading to Washington this week for his first official visit since taking office. The high-stakes meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump will cover a wide range of issues, including ongoing support for Ukraine and brewing tensions over tariffs.
With Europe’s geopolitical position under pressure and Trump eyeing a second term, the visit could shape the tone of U.S.-German relations for years to come. Merz, a vocal supporter of transatlantic ties, is expected to push for continued aid to Kyiv while trying to defuse tariff threats targeting German exports.
Meanwhile, back home in Cologne, a different kind of emergency is unfolding. Authorities have launched a massive evacuation effort as experts work to defuse three unexploded World War II bombs discovered during construction. Thousands have been asked to leave their homes, disrupting schools, public transport, and businesses.
