As the Democrats cry conspiracy over the second Trump-Putin meeting, one world leader is giving Trump praise. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has come out in support of the summit.
According to Town Hall:
President Trump got an unlikely defender Friday after it was announced that he would be meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the White House later this year. German Chancellor Angela Merkel praised the proposed meeting as “good for all” and a “return to normality.”
“That talks are held is basically good for all, in particular between these two countries,” she said at a press conference.
“I find that meetings between the US and Russian presidents must return to normality,” she added.
Despite backlash over his Helsinki summit with Putin, The White House announced Thursday that President Trump has invited Putin to the White House in the fall for more discussions.
The relationship between Merkel and Trump has been contentious so this kind of praise is unexpected by the German leader.
