Germany's Merz says Trump-Zelensky fight a ‘deliberate escalation' by US

[TheHill] Germany’s Friedrich Merz, poised to be his country’s next chancellor, said he thinks the explosive exchange between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President Trump on Friday resulted from a "deliberate escalation" by the U.S.

At a press conference on Monday, Merz said he watched the interaction several times to reach that conclusion, according to multiple international news agencies’ translations of his remarks.

"In my opinion, it was not a spontaneous reaction to what Zelensky was saying, but obviously a deliberate escalation in this meeting in the Oval Office," Merz said, according to a translation.

Or it could be that it was a deliberate escalation by President Zelensky, egged on by key Democrats and a few Republicans at a meeting held just before he went to the White House, and previously by his important friends in Europe and England. The guilty knowledge that the thing he thrice promised President Trump had been contracted for the next century by British PM Sir Keir Starmer before Trump was sworn into office in January may also have played into it. Possibly Mr. Merz is unaware, not yet being his country’s head of government.
