Germany pledges to build Europe’s strongest army as NATO allies answer Trump pressure
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
This is part six of a series examining the challenges confronting the NATO alliance.
Germany is pledging to become a more powerful military force inside NATO, with Berlin’s ambassador to Washington telling Fox News Digital that the country is ready to assume greater responsibility for European security after decades in which the United States carried much of the alliance’s military burden.
«Germany is stepping up — we heard the call!» German Ambassador to the United States Jens Hanefeld told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Germany’s armed forces should become the strongest conventional army in Europe, a goal Hanefeld said is now backed by Berlin’s new military strategy.

«Russia’s illegal war of aggression has shaken old certainties in Europe and Germany as the international rules we have relied on are being challenged,» Hanefeld said. «This changes the strategic environment we operate in.»
«Today, Germany is Ukraine’s largest supporter,» Hanefeld said in written answers. «Germany’s decision to become Europe’s strongest conventional army, well anchored in the NATO alliance, is an ongoing commitment.»
Germany’s historic military shift
The shift marks a historic turn for a country whose postwar military identity was built around restraint.
After World War II, West Germany was allowed to rearm only within a Western alliance framework, joining NATO in 1955 and building the Bundeswehr as a force embedded in collective defense rather than independent German power. For decades after reunification, Germany relied heavily on the U.S. security umbrella and often lagged behind NATO spending targets, feeding repeated American complaints that Europe’s largest economy was not pulling its weight.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 forced Berlin to begin rethinking that posture. Then-Chancellor Olaf Scholz called the shift a «Zeitenwende,» or turning point. Merz is now seeking to turn that phrase into a long-term military buildup.
In Germany, Hanefeld said, the changes underway are often described as a «Zeitenwende,» but he acknowledged that the transformation does not come easily given the country’s history.

Trump–Merz tensions complicate NATO politics
The effort is unfolding against a backdrop of public friction between President Donald Trump and Merz, a dispute that a U.S. defense expert warned could complicate critical decisions on deterring Russia.
The tension escalated after Merz criticized Washington’s handling of the Iran war, saying the United States was being «humiliated» by Iran’s leadership in negotiations and questioning the Trump administration’s exit strategy. Trump fired back by accusing Merz of being soft on Iran’s nuclear program, even though Merz has said Iran must not obtain a nuclear weapon.
The dispute quickly spilled into NATO politics. Trump later threatened to review possible U.S. troop reductions in Germany and said Merz should spend more time ending the war in Ukraine and «fixing his broken country» than commenting on Iran.
Then Merz added another irritant. Speaking to a young audience in Germany, he said he would not advise his children to live, study or work in the United States «today,» citing America’s changing social climate, while also saying he remained «a great admirer of America,» but «My admiration isn’t growing at the moment.»
GERMANY’S MERZ TO ‘ADAPT’ TO TRUMP DURING HIGH-STAKES MEETING ON TARIFFS, DEFENSE

Retired Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former U.S. European Command official, told Fox News Digital that Merz was wrong to speak that way about Trump at a moment when Germany needs Washington’s support.
«Talking trash about the president at a meeting with school kids in Germany is not professional diplomacy, and especially a president who is well-known to be prickly as President Trump,» Montgomery said. «Germany is not the big country in this relationship, the United States is, and Merz needed to show more discipline as a national leader.»
Montgomery said those tensions risk affecting hard security decisions, including long-range strike capabilities in Germany.
He criticized recent U.S. moves to delay or potentially cancel a rotational deployment of long-range strike systems to Germany, which he said would have included Tomahawk, SM-6 or Precision Strike Missile capabilities. Reuters reported in May that Germany’s defense ministry said there had been no «definitive cancellation» of the deployment.
«Both of these are bad decisions being made by our Department of Defense,» Montgomery said. «These are weapons systems that are incredibly important to deterring Russia.»
He said the goal is not to fight Russia in Poland, the Baltics or the Suwałki Gap, but to prevent Moscow from attacking in the first place.
«And those long-range strike weapons are a big part of that. And I’m very disappointed in our Department of Defense,» Montgomery said.
A source with knowledge of the matter said that despite briefings about possible decreases in U.S. involvement, the U.S.–Germany defense relationship remains strong and cooperation remains close.

Europe’s future defense industrial base
«Germany developing a large, impressive defense industrial base is good for NATO, it’s good for Western security, and it’s even good for our primes,» Montgomery said, arguing that Germany, not Poland, France or the United Kingdom, is most likely to become the «beating heart» of Europe’s future defense industrial base.
Germany has long been central to the U.S. military presence in Europe. Hanefeld pointed to Ramstein Air Base, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and the training area in Grafenwöhr as examples of Germany’s continuing importance to American power projection and NATO deterrence.
«These facilities serve U.S. national security interests and U.S. military personnel and further NATO’s ability to deter and defend,» he said. «I am confident: NATO will remain transatlantic at its core, but will become more European over the next decade.»
At the 2025 NATO summit in The Hague, allies agreed to invest 5% of GDP annually in defense and defense-related spending by 2035, including core military spending and broader security investments. Merz said at the time that the decision was meant to safeguard «freedom, security and prosperity,» according to the German government.
Hanefeld said Germany is already moving to meet that standard, saying Berlin will increase defense spending to 5% of GDP «well before» 2035 and recruit almost 100,000 new active-duty soldiers into the Bundeswehr.
He also pushed back against U.S. critics who argue that Germany and other European allies are still not carrying their fair share of the defense burden. Hanefeld said Germany has signed more than 380 contracts worth more than $33 billion with U.S. defense companies to procure and manufacture fighter jets, transport helicopters, air defense systems and ammunition.
«It’s a down payment on the transatlantic future and on our political commitment to shift the burden for deterrence and defense to Europe,» Hanefeld said.
TRUMP PUSHED NATO TO SPEND BIG — NOW COMES THE HARDER QUESTION: CAN EUROPE ACTUALLY FIGHT?

Defending NATO’s eastern flank
One of Germany’s most visible commitments is its permanent brigade in Lithuania, expected to include around 5,000 German military and civilian personnel. The Bundeswehr says the force is intended to become fully operational for the defense of NATO’s eastern flank in the Baltic region within three years.
Hanefeld called the brigade one of Germany’s «signature efforts» to reassure Baltic allies that NATO «will defend every inch of allied territory.»
For Germany, the change is not only about money. It is a political and cultural break with decades of caution about military power. For the United States, it is also a test of whether the ally long criticized by Trump and other U.S. leaders for underspending can now become the European backbone Washington has demanded.

These 11 upcoming Supreme Court decisions could make or break Trump’s second term agenda
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the Supreme Court enters the final stretch of its term, a flood of closely watched decisions could determine not only the fate of several of President Donald Trump’s key policy priorities but also the scope of presidential authority for years to come.
Around the marbled halls and chambers, the final weeks of June are often known as «flood season,» the annual rush to complete opinions before the justices leave Washington for their summer recess. The nine justices and their law clerks are on tight, self-imposed deadlines to write and circulate final drafts of opinions in cases big and small.
This year, 23 cases remain unresolved after the court heard arguments in nearly 60 disputes during the term. Among them are four appeals involving executive actions by Trump, two election-related disputes and separate questions involving gun rights and transgender rights.
Several of the remaining disputes share a common thread: how much power a president can exercise over federal policy and the executive branch. The rulings could significantly affect Trump’s ability to advance his second-term agenda, particularly on immigration and government oversight, while further defining the boundaries between the White House, Congress and the courts.

The court’s last day before its traditional summer recess is still unknown, even to its nine members, but they hope to finish up by month’s end. However, given the divided court’s compressed workload, that is no guarantee.
Here are 11 remaining opinions that we are closely watching.
Trump v. Barbara
Arguably the most closely watched Supreme Court case remaining to be decided, this challenge centers on President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, an effort to limit automatic citizenship for children born to parents who entered the country illegally.
The case could define the limits of presidential power by determining whether a president can change a longstanding interpretation of citizenship law without Congress.
Trump made history by personally attending oral arguments in March, becoming the first sitting president to do so — but that did not seem to matter.
The Supreme Court openly pushed back against the administration’s sweeping efforts to restrict who can be called an American, expressing varying levels of skepticism about the claim a citizenship «privilege» has been historically abused and wrongly granted to those whose parents were in the country illegally or temporarily.
A ruling against Trump would affirm the longstanding legal, political and social consensus supporting the idea of granting automatic citizenship to all babies born in the country, regardless of their parents’ immigration or temporary visitor status.

Mullin v. Doe, Dahlia; Trump v. Miot
Immigration-related executive power is also at the center of Mullin v. Doe, Dahlia and Trump v. Miot, cases involving the administration’s effort to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections from certain Haitian and Syrian migrants living in the U.S.
The TPS program currently covers roughly 1.3 million people fleeing war and natural disasters from 17 countries and allows them to live and work in the country for a limited time.
CHECKS AND BALANCES: TRUMP, SUPPORTERS SEEK TO PUSH BACK AGAINST ‘ACTIVIST’ JUDGES
The administration argues the Department of Homeland Security has broad discretion to end some Temporary Protected Status protections for migrants from certain countries, arguing protections are intended to be temporary. Migrant advocates counter that federal law requires specific procedures and allows courts to review those decisions.
The conservative court majority has signaled its support for the Homeland Security secretary’s discretionary power to revoke deportation protections for 13 countries on the TPS list.
SUPREME COURT PREPARES FOR MAJOR TEST OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER IN TRUMP EFFORTS TO FIRE FEDERAL RESERVE GOVERNOR
Trump v. Cook; Trump v. Slaughter
In Trump v. Cook, the justices are weighing whether Trump can dismiss Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
Based on January’s oral arguments, the court appears ready to give President Trump one of his biggest legal setbacks in office, offering strong support for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook remaining in her leadership position — at least for now.
The questions of presidential power deal with whether Trump has broad unilateral executive authority to fire someone from the central bank, despite its special status as a stand-alone federal agency.
In arguments, most on the court seemed skeptical of Trump’s actions.
«That’s your position that there’s no judicial review, no process required, no remedy available?» Justice Brett Kavanaugh told the Justice Department’s Solicitor General D. John Sauer. «Very low bar for ‘cause’ that the president alone determines? I mean, that would weaken, if not shatter, the independence of the Federal Reserve.»
But a separate case involving presidential firing authority, Trump v. Slaughter, could have even broader implications. Former Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter is challenging her removal from the agency, setting up a direct test of a 1935 Supreme Court precedent set in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States that limits a president’s ability to fire members of independent regulatory commissions except only for «cause.»
A ruling favoring the administration could strengthen presidential control over agencies that regulate everything from communications and consumer safety to labor policy and financial markets, and a ruling in Slaughter’s favor could greatly restrict the president’s powers.

The stakes could be enormous for how the federal government is run. Independent regulatory agencies and boards help manage almost every aspect of American life — from transportation safety, labor relations and the environment to Social Security and finance. Agencies include the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Reserve.
National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission
At issue is a federal law that caps coordinated spending between political parties and candidates running for Congress and the White House.
The high court in recent years, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, has tossed aside congressionally enacted federal campaign spending limits.
THE BIGGEST SUPREME COURT DECISIONS OF 2024: FROM PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY TO OVERTURNING THE CHEVRON DOCTRINE
And the six conservative justices appear ready to do so again, and could upend a nearly quarter-century opinion limiting how the major political parties spend tens of millions of dollars, much of it going to television advertising.
The dispute underscores a divide over whether campaign spending restrictions intended to prevent corruption improperly infringe on free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
Watson v. Republican National Committee
At issue is a Mississippi law allowing election officials to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, provided they were mailed on time.
SCOTUS CONSERVATIVES SIGNAL READINESS TO CURB LATE-ARRIVING MAIL BALLOTS
Mississippi is one of about 14 states, the District of Columbia and three territories that permit a grace period ranging from one day to several weeks during which regular ballots can be counted, so long as those ballots are postmarked on or before Election Day.
That is currently the case in California, where final results from the June 2 election may not be known for another couple of weeks or more.
The justices are deciding whether federal Election Day statutes preempt various state laws and may clarify exactly what «the election» means when it comes to the casting and receipt of ballots.
The outcome could rest with Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who could cast the deciding votes.
Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J.
The court is also considering a pair of cases involving transgender athletes and school sports. In Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., the justices are weighing whether state laws that restrict transgender girls and women from competing on female athletic teams violate the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause or federal protections under Title IX.
Almost 30 states have laws limiting participation for transgender females who were designated male at birth, in both public school and college athletics, and officials say their restrictions are a matter of ensuring a level playing field and student safety.
SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW STATE BANS ON TRANSGENDER ATHLETES’ PARTICIPATION IN SCHOOL SPORTS
But lawyers for a high school sophomore and a college senior counter those prohibitions are clearly discriminatory, and that the issues should be about equality and dignity for every student, free from politics and misinformation.
The high court is examining whether the laws unconstitutionally discriminate on the basis of sex.
Wolford v. Lopez
The challenge targets a Hawaii law that prohibits individuals, including concealed-carry permit holders, from bringing firearms onto private property open to the public unless the owner has expressly granted permission.
This case could come down to whether property rights trump gun rights, and how those rights interact.
GUN RIGHTS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY DEBATED AT SUPREME COURT
A group of gun owners in Maui are challenging those default permission rules, arguing the law improperly makes it a crime to bear arms even where the owner of property accessible to the public is merely silent. They refer to these laws as «vampire rules,» a nod to the legend of Dracula, who could not enter a room without being invited.
But Hawaii officials told the high court the restrictions balance gun and property rights, citing a long tradition in the Aloha State of limiting all kinds of dangerous weapons, dating back to when it was a monarchy.
United States v. Hemani
A separate Second Amendment case still unresolved deals with the federal government’s law banning people with a «habitual» use of marijuana from legally keeping a firearm.

The «guns and ganja» dispute centers on whether the widespread use of cannabis in recent decades — legal in some form in 40 states — makes criminalizing «mere possession» contingent on firearm ownership.
The same law was applied to former President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who was convicted under Section 922(g)(3), which bars any «unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance» from possessing a firearm.

El Mundial 2026 ya convirtió a El Salvador en un punto de encuentro donde mercados, hogares y espacios públicos se llenan de banderas, pantallas y artículos deportivos, mientras comercios ofrecen hasta 30% de descuento en pantallas y productos para el hogar para acompañar una celebración que se vive tanto en familia como en comunidad.
Esa fiebre futbolera también se instaló en los mercados del país. En San Salvador, Santa Tecla y otros recintos comerciales, los vendedores decoraron pasillos y locales con trofeos, camisetas, balones y banderas de selecciones como Argentina, Brasil, México y Holanda.
En los espacios públicos, lugares emblemáticos se adaptaron para seguir los partidos en pantalla gigante. La Biblioteca Nacional de El Salvador organiza dinámicas y espacios de convivencia, mientras restaurantes y plazas públicas de San Salvador reciben a familias completas.
Uno de los focos de esa ambientación es el Mercado Dueñas de Santa Tecla, donde los pasillos aparecen adornados con artículos vinculados al torneo. El Mercado Ex Cuartel de San Salvador también concentra esa oferta, con puestos dedicados a vender accesorios mundialistas.
La celebración comercial alcanza además al Mercado Central, al mercado Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y al Mercadito Tecleño. En todos esos recintos, la previa del campeonato aparece asociada a color, banderas y productos para los aficionados.
En el mercado de San Miguelito, en el local 224 del primer nivel en San Salvador, esa actividad comercial convive con una historia personal marcada por el duelo. Allí se encuentra Doña Edith Castillo, quien vende productos vinculados a Panini.
En un diálogo con un creador de contenido, Castillo explicó el origen reciente de ese puesto: “El negocio es de mi hijo que acaba de morir. Hace ocho días lo enterré”. Cuando le preguntaron por el motivo de su llegada a ese rubro, añadió: “Una larga historia. Vendí 25 años en el Liceo Salvadoreño. Me conocen como la señora de los juguetes. Ya vendía Panini ahí”.
Castillo relató que su recorrido laboral cambió durante la pandemia. “En la pandemia me hice vendedora de carne. Y ahora con lo del mundial me metí en esta locura”, dijo al creador de contenido.
La celebración no se limita a la compra de accesorios o a la asistencia a fiestas para fans. En los hogares salvadoreños, el torneo funciona como excusa para reuniones familiares en torno a comidas tradicionales.
Entre los platillos que suelen acompañar los partidos aparecen panes con pollo, carne asada, platos de carne picada y bocadillos para compartir. La escena se repite entre amigos, familias y comunidades enteras que siguen cada encuentro como una experiencia colectiva.

En ese mismo intercambio, Castillo vinculó su emprendimiento con la memoria de su hijo, a quien describió como futbolista. “Él era futbolista. Acá está la foto de él”, dijo al creador de contenido.
Más adelante recordó cómo ambos habían impulsado juntos el negocio: “Íbamos, lo montamos entre los dos, mixa y mixa, pero yo le dije: ‘Yo tengo tanto dinero y montemos el negocio’, le dije. Pero él está en el cielo ya”.
La comerciante también habló de la pérdida reciente de su hijo, de 23 años. “A mi hijo lo voy a llevar acá en mi corazón para toda mi vida, porque fueron veintitrés años que Diosito me lo prestó. Hace ocho días, un día miércoles, lo enterré. Hace ocho días de ahora. Ahí estamos pidiéndole a Dios que nos dé fuerza y sabiduría y que nos agarre más de sus manos y que no nos suelte”.

Medios iraníes afirman que el régimen aún no tomó una decisión sobre el acuerdo que Trump anunció para este domingo
Irán aún no tomó una decisión final sobre el protocolo de acuerdo negociado con Estados Unidos para poner fin a la guerra en Oriente Medio, según afirmó este domingo la agencia de noticias iraní Fars, en contraste con el optimismo expresado por el presidente Donald Trump, quien anticipó la firma para ese mismo día.
“La República Islámica de Irán aún no ha tomado ni anunciado su decisión final respecto al protocolo de acuerdo propuesto durante las negociaciones”, escribió Fars, citando a “una fuente bien informada cercana al equipo negociador” iraní. La agencia señaló que los aspectos políticos, legales y técnicos del texto siguen bajo revisión a distintos niveles de decisión.
Trump había publicado en su red social Truth Social que el acuerdo “estaba previsto para ser firmado” este domingo —su cumpleaños número 80— y que, una vez concretado, el estrecho de Ormuz quedaría “abierto a todos de inmediato”. El primer ministro de Pakistán, Shehbaz Sharif, cuyo gobierno actúa como mediador en las conversaciones, respaldó esa expectativa y dijo que Islamabad se preparaba para una firma electrónica seguida de conversaciones técnicas la semana próxima.
Sin embargo, el portavoz del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores iraní, Esmail Baqai, había señalado el sábado que la firma no se concretaría “mañana” sino posiblemente “en los próximos días”, sin que los tiempos quedaran definidos.
Para intentar destrabar la negociación, mediadores de Qatar viajaron a Teherán el domingo por la mañana, según una fuente al tanto de la situación consultada por Reuters.
Según múltiples fuentes que describieron a Reuters los términos preliminares, el acuerdo contempla la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz —por el que circulaba el 20% de los suministros mundiales de petróleo antes de la guerra— como condición inicial, seguida del levantamiento del bloqueo naval estadounidense y el posterior desminado de la vía. Las negociaciones sobre el programa nuclear iraní quedarían diferidas para una segunda etapa de 60 días.
EEUU liberaría también miles de millones de dólares en activos iraníes congelados y suspendería las sanciones sobre las exportaciones de petróleo de Teherán. Persisten diferencias, sin embargo, sobre la gestión del estrecho: mientras Irán exige el derecho a cobrar peajes y controlar el paso de embarcaciones, un funcionario estadounidense descartó esa condición y afirmó que el corredor “debe estar abierto sin cobros”.
Las hostilidades no cedieron mientras se negociaba. El sábado, fuerzas de EEUU derribaron varios drones iraníes lanzados hacia el estrecho. Desde el inicio del conflicto, el bloqueo naval estadounidense ha redireccionado más de 140 buques comerciales y neutralizado 9 embarcaciones.
El capítulo nuclear sigue siendo el más controvertido. El canciller iraní, Abbas Araghchi, sostuvo que el uranio enriquecido debe ser “diluido dentro de Irán”, posición que choca con la exigencia de Trump de extraerlo y destruirlo. El Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA) estima que Irán posee 440 kilogramos de uranio enriquecido al 60%, concentración cercana al umbral necesario para fabricar armas nucleares. Sus inspectores no acceden a ese material desde el 10 de junio de 2025, cuando Israel lanzó sus primeros ataques contra instalaciones nucleares iraníes.
El primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, afirmó que Trump le garantizó que cualquier acuerdo incluirá la eliminación del material enriquecido. “Hay un acuerdo total entre el presidente Trump y yo sobre este tema”, dijo en un comunicado.
El acuerdo también enfrenta resistencia interna. En la ciudad de Mashhad, decenas de personas protestaron frente al Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y exigieron la renuncia de Araghchi, al que acusaron de ceder demasiado ante Washington. En paralelo, Israel informó haber ejecutado más de 70 ataques en 24 horas contra posiciones de Hezbollah en el Líbano, en una señal de que la región sigue lejos de la calma.
