Berlin — US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday spoke with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz by phone, Berlin said, adding that they 'agreed to work together towards a return to peace in Europe.' Scholz — mired in a political crisis and facing snap elections sometime in early 2025 — congratulated Trump a second time on his election victory, according to the chancellor's spokesman Steffen Hebestreit.
'Trump's election is seen as carrying the potential to upend the almost three-year Ukraine conflict, as he insists on a quick end to the fighting and casts doubt on Washington's multi-billion-dollar support for Kyiv.During his campaign, Trump repeatedly vowed to quickly end the Ukraine war — even before he is sworn into office -- but without detailing his thinking.
