💨 Abstract

Friedrich Merz, the leading candidate for Germany's chancellorship, criticized a leaked diplomatic briefing by Germany's ambassador to the U.S., Andreas Michaelis, which heavily criticized former President Donald Trump. Merz stated the briefing harmed the German government's reputation, as it was written in a partisan tone and was leaked publicly. Merz believes the leak constituted a significant error in German foreign policy.
