UK and Europe Correspondent Vincent McAviney spoke to Ryan Bridge about German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to the White House.
The chancellor presented President Donald Trump with a gift: The birth certificate of President Trump’s German grandfather, which seemed to go down well with the President.

McAviney also said that Germany is likely aiming to secure a deal with the US that will reduce the effects of Trump’s tariffs.
