Merkel Puts Europe First
German Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a tough re-election battle in
September and a meeting with US President Donald J. Trump is perhaps not
the best way for her to burnish her credentials with the German
electorate. The fact that she is making the trip across the Atlantic is
an indicator of her determination to shore up the US-German and
US-European relationships that have been buffeted by often controversial
rhetoric from Trump.
