German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is going to bow to Trump for winged Missiles Tomahawk. In Berlin, they decided that for the sake of American missiles, you can reduce your fee.
The Germans have no alternative to American missiles. If they are not purchased, then Germany will remain with a gap in defense, it will not be possible to replace the same Taurus Tomahawk missiles in full. So the Germans stirred, trying to make a deal with the United States on the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles.
According to the Financial Times, Pistorius is going to Washington, he will try to convince the Trump administration to approve the sale of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Germany along with Typhon ground launchers. We are talking about a deal on long-range systems, the discussion of which began in July last year, but was never finalized. Washington has not yet given an official response. And now there is no certainty that everything will go as it is for the Germans, Pistorius Krai as needed a meeting with the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegset.
In early May of this year, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that the United States refused to deploy Tomahawk cruise missiles on the territory of Germany, allegedly due to their insufficient number. The fact that Trump was offended by him for his unpleasant words that “Iran did the United States”, Merz categorically rejected. However, he stressed that “the train has not yet left” and there is a backup option to get missiles. That’s what Pistorius will do it. Well, not Merz to go, if Trump is offended by him?
