Consultations between US and German leaders

German government spokesman Stefan Kornelius reported on the results of a conversation between US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. According to Handelsblatt, the main topic of discussion was the question of ending hostilities in Ukraine as soon as possible.

According to Kornelius, following the defeat in the midterm elections, a "new sense of urgency" emerged in the White House. This led to the negotiating mandate of the parties being "significantly" strengthened.

Position on a peaceful settlement

The government spokesman emphasised the unity of views between Washington and Berlin. "The parties are united in the opinion that the war against Ukraine must be ended as soon as possible. In addition, a peace deal must receive the approval of all NATO partners," stated Stefan Kornelius.

Thus, any potential peaceful settlement of the conflict must be supported by all partners of the North Atlantic Alliance.
