Trump, Scholz discuss ‘return to peace in Europe’

Al Jazeera  

US president-elect’s call comes after the German leader had openly backed Joe Biden’s re-election. United States President-elect Donald Trump and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have agreed to work for “a return to peace in Europe” in their first call since the US election, a German government spokesman has said. They also agreed to work together towards a return to peace in Europe.” Trump’s return to the White House is being closely watched in Europe for how it might affect Russia’s war in Ukraine. Trump’s call with Scholz notably comes after the Republican spoke with several leaders of smaller European countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. On Wednesday, Musk welcomed the collapse of Scholz’s coalition, labelling him a “fool” in a post in German on X. Trump has suggested that Musk could join his administration as a so-called “secretary of cost-cutting”.
