Germany's Merz says had 'good phone call' with Trump

Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Friday he had "a good phone call" with U.S. President Donald Trump, following a rift that saw Trump announce the withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany.

"I had a good phone call with @POTUS (U.S. President) Donald Trump on his way back from China," Merz wrote on X, adding that they agreed "the U.S. and Germany are strong partners in a strong NATO."
