Friedrich Merz, a German chancellor candidate, has described US President-elect Donald Trump as a “very predictable leader.” In an interview with Bloomberg, Merz remarked, “He means what he says and does what he says,” highlighting Trump’s straightforward style.
After a two-day meeting in Berlin with other European conservative leaders, Merz pointed out that Trump’s decisive agenda could accelerate essential reforms in Europe. “Trump is speeding up the process in Europe, which we needed to undertake anyway. In that sense, it’s also an opportunity for us to take the right steps,” he stated.
Merz also noted that Trump’s leadership might bring greater clarity in the months ahead, even though it could present significant challenges. His comments reflect Europe’s anticipation of adapting to the changes Trump’s administration is expected to bring.
