German newspapers on Saturday have described the brief meeting between US President and German Chancellor Angela Merkel as a pleasant meeting that has failed to make progress on some important issues, such as the US-EU nuclear agreement with Iran and trade agreements.

On the agenda of the talks: the difficultly negotiated nuclear agreement with Iran, in which Trump has threatened to cancel 12 May and a US decision to exempt aluminum and steel tariffs against the EU, reports “DW” Transmission Periscope.
Germany's daily picture “Bild” praised the meeting as a victory for Trump, which seized the opportunity to “repeatedly celebrate its role in peace talks between the leaders of North Korea and South Korea.
He added that Merkel's comments that “the president will decide” on punitive trade tariffs showed it had no “any real leverage system”. /Periscopi/
