The U.S. has intensified calls for European NATO partners to enhance their naval presence in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane.
In this context, German politician Merz plans to engage with President Trump to discuss NATO's operational role and responsibilities in the region.
This dialogue comes as Germany faces domestic challenges, including the presence of over 500 unarrested far-right extremists, which may impact its foreign policy posture.
