A scheduled phone call between German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday, September 9, was unexpectedly cancelled. German government spokesman Steffen Cornelius announced the cancellation, without specifying reasons, suggesting it may go beyond scheduling issues. No new date has been set. The call was intended to address the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, with Merz planning to affirm German and European solidarity with the U.S. The cancellation comes amid Trump's praise for the far-right Alternative for Germany party's strong performance in the Saxony-Anhalt state election. AfD co-leader Alice Weidel hopes the party's national support will grow to 40%.
