German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Europe wants to work to keep the NATO alliance functioning, despite apparent growing fissures with the US president over the war on Iran.
– The tensions have increased after Germany and other European countries refused to support the US and Israeli war against Iran.
– “We are really willing to keep this alliance alive for the future,” Merz said at a news conference with Sweden’s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.
– “We know that there are some differences. We know that we are seeing challenges, all of us, but our final goal is to bring this conflict to an end and to guarantee that Iran is not able to produce nuclear weapons,” Merz said.
– “And this goal is a common goal between America and Europe.”
