WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel (AHN’-geh-lah MEHR’-kuhl) at the White House later this month.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders says the meeting will take place on March 14. It will be the first in-person meeting between Trump and the German chancellor since the U.S. election.
Trump frequently criticized Merkel during his presidential campaign, accusing her of “ruining Germany” by taking in large numbers of refugees. Merkel, who wields significant sway in Europe, was critical of Trump’s refugee and immigration travel ban, which was blocked by the courts.
Sanders did not offer details on what the two may discuss.

LOL
Maybe he should give her a backrub…
That’s pretty brave of her. Bush only grabbed her by the shoulders.
I would much prefer the good Chancellor stay home, protect her reputation and enjoy the parades.
Unless it’s an Ides of March-type affair, of course.
We should send her a hocky cup …
She can call it her ’ Wilson ’ —
