Merz’s US warning: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told young people at a Catholic congress in Würzburg that he wouldn’t advise them to move to the United States, warning of a “different social climate” and noting even well-educated people there struggle to find jobs. Economic slowdown jitters: Germany’s economy is expected to slow sharply in Q2 as Middle East tensions push up energy costs, disrupt supply chains, and erode business and consumer confidence—an outlook that also feeds into rising inflation. Markets under pressure: Global bond sell-offs and higher yields are being linked to the Iran-related oil shock, with Germany among the countries feeling the heat. Communication backlash: Reuters reports Merz also admitted he needs to improve how he communicates after controversy over remarks that annoyed Germans. Policy spillover: Separate reporting says the US is pressing Germany to pay more for prescription drugs, adding to the political and economic strain.
