In Germany, Trump is considered very predictable
German chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz has spoken out about US President-elect Donald Trump.
He told Bloomberg that the future American leader is “very predictable”.
Mr. Merz said Mr. Trump was a “very predictable leader with a clear agenda that will force Europe to implement necessary reforms quicker”.
“He means what he says and he does what he says,” he declared.
In Berlin, after a two-day meeting with the leaders of other conservative parties in Europe, Merz told reporters that as such, “we can therefore expect much more clarity in the coming weeks and months and that this will of course also bring many challenges for us”.
“Trump is speeding up the process in Europe, which we had to do anyway. In that sense, it's also an opportunity for us to do the right thing,” he added.
