German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Sunday he will not abandon efforts to work with President Donald Trump despite disagreements over the Iran war, downplaying tensions over a U.S. troop withdrawal from Germany as not retaliatory. Merz told public broadcaster ARD that while the U.S. and Europe have differing views on the conflict, the "train has not departed" for future transatlantic cooperation and Russia deterrence.
