In a conversation with Trump, Merts reminded of D-day.
“Let me remind you that we have June. Tomorrow the 6th is the anniversary of the landing in Normandy, when the Americans once completed the war in Europe,” he said, emphasizing that the United States is now able to end the war in Ukraine.
Trump, not yet listening to the words of the Merets about the war unleashed by Russia, commented on the events of 1944.
“This is not a very good day for you,” Trump said.
Mertz answered.
“Mr. President, this freed my country from the Nazi dictatorship,” the German Chancellor emphasized.
“This is true, this is true,” Trump agreed.
After that, Mertz continued his thought about the war in Ukraine and the role of the United States in its end.
“And we know that we owe you. But that is why I say that America again has a very strong position to stop this war. Therefore, let's talk about what we can do together,” the Chancellor summed up.
Context
The landing in Normandy (or the Operation “Neptune”, or D-Day) is the most important marine landing of the Second World War, which took place on June 6, 1944 on the Normandy coast (France). This was the first phase of the Oberlord strategic operation, aimed at the liberation of Western Europe from the Nazi occupation. She opened the second front against Germany, squeezed the German troops and contributed to the liberation of France and all of Europe.
