U.S. President Donald Trump has criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over his stance on Iran.

Axar.az reports that the White House chief made the remarks on Truth Social.

“The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!” Trump wrote.

“If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago,” he added.

“No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise!” the U.S. President stated.
