German Foreign Ministry Mocks Donald Trump Post-Presidential Debate

Germany's foreign ministry took a swipe at U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump over a false claim about immigrants eating pets during a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump stated that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were stealing pets for food. Germany mocked Trump via a post on the platform X, correcting him by highlighting that their energy system, powered by more than 50% renewables, was fully functional. Chancellor Olaf Scholz also praised Kamala Harris, calling her a "competent and experienced politician." Trump has long criticized Germany over trade surpluses and defense spending.
