АНУ-ын засаг захиргааны бодлого өөрчлөгдсөнтэй холбоотойгоор хоёр улсын харилцаанд томоохон өөрчлөлт гарч байна.
Германы Канцлер Фридрих Мерц АНУ-тай тогтоосон “болзолгүй найрамдлын” эрин үе ойрын ирээдүйд дуусгавар болж байгааг мэдэгдлээ. Тэрээр Вашингтоны улс төрийн хандлага болон трансатлантын холбоотны харилцааг үзэх өнцөг өөрчлөгдсөнийг онцлон тэмдэглэв. Өмнө нь АНУ-ын талыг баримтлагч улстөрч гэгддэг байсан Мерц Ираны дайн болон Германы дотоод бодлогын асуудлаар АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамптай удаа дараа санал зөрөлдөж ирсэн юм.
АНУ-ын зүгээс Германы дотоод үйл хэрэгт хөндлөнгөөс оролцож байгаад болгоомжлол илэрхийлсэн Канцлер, Герман улс өөрийн аюулгүй байдалдаа илүү их хариуцлага хүлээх цаг болсныг онцоллоо. Эдийн засгийн бүтцийн хямралтай байгаа хэдий ч Герман улс батлан хамгаалах зардлаа нэмэгдүүлж, Украйныг санхүүжүүлэх бодлогоо үргэлжлүүлнэ гэдгээ мэдэгдэв.
2025 онд АНУ-ын дэд ерөнхийлөгч Ж.Д.Вэнс Мюнхений аюулгүй байдлын бага хурлын үеэр Европын орнуудын цагаачлалын бодлого болон үзэл бодлоо илэрхийлэх эрх чөлөөний асуудлыг шүүмжилсэн нь хоёр талын дипломат харилцаанд сэв суулгасан юм. Мөн Пентагон Герман дахь АНУ-ын цэргийн хүчний тоог 5,000-аар цөөрүүлэх төлөвлөгөөгөө танилцуулсан нь цэргийн салбар дахь хамтын ажиллагаанд хүндрэл учруулж байна.

The German chancellor blamed the Trump administration for souring transatlantic relations
The era of unconditional friendship with the US is coming to an end, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said, blaming Washington for the deterioration in relations.
Merz, once seen as one of Germany’s most pro-American politicians, has repeatedly clashed with US President Donald Trump over issues ranging from the Iran war to German domestic policy.
“The era of unconditional transatlantic friendship is probably over for the foreseeable future,” the chancellor told fellow members of his Christian Democratic Union (CDU) on Thursday at a campaign event in Berlin ahead of this weekend’s regional parliamentary election.
“We are seeing a change in political attitudes on the other side of the Atlantic, as well as a shift in how the transatlantic alliance is viewed, which we perhaps did not think possible,” he added.
In April, Merz argued that the US lacked a coherent strategy in the Middle East and had been “humiliated” by Iran during the conflict. Trump responded by telling him to focus on “fixing his broken country.”
A month later, the chancellor, who previously worked with US financial giant BlackRock, said he no longer viewed the US as the “land of opportunity” it once was. He added that he would discourage his own children from traveling there for work or study.
This summer, Merz warned the US administration against interfering in German elections. His remarks came as the US State Department launched a nearly $5 million grant program to support projects aimed at what it called strengthening democratic resilience, the rule of law, freedom of speech and the press, and human rights in Europe.
“It was long overdue that we now take more responsibility for ourselves,” the chancellor said on Thursday, defending Germany’s increased defense spending. The country will strengthen its military and continue funding Ukraine in its conflict with Russia despite a “structural crisis” in its own economy, Merz said.
Since returning to the White House in early 2025, Trump has imposed tariffs on most US trading partners and continued his longstanding criticism of European immigration policies. He has also revived plans to acquire Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory, and attacked Merz personally over his criticism of the US war with Iran, saying he was “doing a terrible job” as chancellor.
In 2025, US Vice President J.D. Vance shocked many European officials at the annual Munich Security Conference when, instead of focusing on Russia over the Ukraine conflict, he criticized European governments over what he described as the erosion of free speech and “out-of-control migration.”
Vance also criticized the so-called firewall, the longstanding refusal by Germany’s mainstream parties, including Merz’s CDU, to cooperate with the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), now the second-largest party in the Bundestag. “Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There’s no room for firewalls. You either uphold the principle or you don’t,” he said.
In May, the Pentagon announced plans to withdraw around 5,000 of the more than 36,000 active-duty US troops stationed in Germany, marking a further strain on military ties between the allies.
