German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said today that he has no reason to believe that US President Donald Trump is unable to fulfill his duties due to health reasons, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
“Based on my contacts with President Trump, I have no reason to doubt his health“, Merz said, answering questions during a press conference.
“He will turn 80 in June, but I have the impression that he is fully capable of fulfilling his duties. I see no indications to the contrary“, Merz added.
The Chancellor added that the foundations for ratifying a trade agreement between the EU and the US are in place, as long as Washington fulfills its commitments.
“Following the US president's threats to raise tariffs again, I expect that the foundations have now been laid for the agreement to enter into force“, Merz said.
