German Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed concerns about opportunities in the United States, stating that he would not advise his children to live or study there. He highlighted a rapidly changing social climate and the difficulties even highly educated individuals face in finding jobs. His comments reflect the growing tensions between the U.S. and European allies under Donald Trump, in the context of trade disputes and conflicts in Ukraine and Iran. Merz, who took office in 2025, recently criticized the U.S., provoking a response from Trump, who accused him of inefficiency in handling global issues. Despite the criticism, Merz stated that he admires America, but acknowledged that this admiration is not currently growing.
