A meeting between President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Frederich Merz took a bizarre turn...“May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow,” Merz said while speaking about Ukraine’s bloody war against Russia on Thursday. “This is D-Day anniversary, when the Americans once ended a war in Europe.”

Trump interjected, telling his counterpart, “That was not a pleasant day for you.”

“No, that was not a pleasant,” Merz began before Trump interjected again, saying, “This was not a great day."...“In the long run, Mr. President, this was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship,” Merz said. “And we know what we owe you, but this is the reason why I’m saying that America is again in a very strong position to do something on this war and ending this war. So let’s talk about what we can do jointly.”.”
