Germany has welcomed the rare-earth trade truce between China and the U.S., calling it a positive step that could inspire similar progress in EU-U.S. talks.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed strong support for the recent U.S.-China agreement easing restrictions on rare-earth exports, stating it resolved a key trade conflict without harming Europe. Speaking in Berlin alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Merz emphasized the need for similar breakthroughs in U.S.-EU negotiations. He also affirmed Germany's backing of Denmark and international law. On domestic unrest in the U.S. sparked by immigration raids, Merz described the footage as “disturbing” but refrained from commenting directly, hoping instead for a swift resolution to the tensions.
