German Chancellor Friedrich Merz did not want to lecture Donald Trump about international law. So, he didn’t, at least not during the public part of his visit to the White House. This was despite most experts agreeing that the US-Israeli attack on Iran breached international law.
Friedrich Merz is displaying a type of quiet tolerance of Trump’s approach. He does not fully approve of it, expresses doubts, but does not condemn it.
