(NewsNation) — Germany's new leader is set to meet President Donald Trump on Thursday at the White House, and the visit will likely include talks of Ukrainian aid and trade deals, the German government said. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's inaugural visit will include lunch and a news conference with Trump beginning at 12:45 p.m. EDT. NewsNation will stream the conference from this story when it begins. Russian strike kills 5 in Ukraine, including a 1-year-old, hours after Trump-Putin call Merz and Trump have spoken several times on the phone since Merz took office May 6, but Thursday's visit marks the first in-person meeting between the pair. Merz has been a staunch advocate for continued support for Ukraine and offered to help the country develop its own long-range missiles against Russia. He hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin in late May. Merz, the leader of Europe's biggest economy, also has a high stake in Trump's threats to impose a 50% tariff on European Union goods. Trump has paused those tariffs until July 9. Musk calls for killing House's 'big, beautiful bill' Other tariffs, like a 25% tariff on autos and parts, particularly hurt Germany's robust automotive sector. Merz previously said tariffs 'benefit no one and damage everyone,' a potentially sparking point for tension with Trump — whose previous bilateral meetings with Zelenskyy and South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa devolved into showdowns in the Oval Office.

Prince Harry Is ‘Damaging' King Charles' Legacy Amid Reports the Monarch Is a ‘Sick Man'
Who's going to make the first move? Several Royal experts have weighed in on the topic of if Prince Harry will reconcile with King Charles after his bombshell BBC interview. Though Prince Harry put the offer to reconcile with his father in front of the public, there's still hesitation on Buckingham Palace's side. 'The underlying issue is trust,' Sally Bedell Smith told People. 'The King and William don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation.'

The Royal expert also explained that if Charles did reverse the decision on the security appeal that it could 'potentially damage [Charles'] legacy.' However, Low is certain that they could separate what's left in the public and private eye. 'This is a family rift rather than a constitutional rift — it's what happens to families. Both sides have to reach a point where they realize they can't carry on as they are.'Prince Harry told the BBC that the King 'won't speak to me because of this security stuff', but that he did not want to fight anymore and did 'not know how much longer my father has'. The stakes are even higher since Charles' cancer diagnosis. 'If you have that level of breach in a family, and you are estranged, you run that risk every day of having something unfathomable to deal with,' says Catherine Mayer. A source said that Charles' health is in steady decline. 'Charles is indeed a sick man, and he does have cancer,' an insider told NewsNationNow. 'He also refused chemotherapy and decided on a less invasive treatment. While Harry and his dad aren't speaking, Harry would be aware of all of this via back channels.' However, an anonymous royal aide disclosed a positive health update for King Charles. He is dealing 'incredibly well' with cancer, per The Telegraph. 'The thing you learn about this illness is that you just manage it and that's what he does. Medical science has made incredible advances and I genuinely see no difference in him. As long as you just do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible… that's exactly what he is doing.' They also revealed that the Monarch 'has dealt with his illness in a very human way, and the way he's engaging with the public at a very human level. I think we now have a clear idea of what the Carolean age looks like and what it stands for – now and hopefully for many years to come.'

One of King Charles' closest aides, Major General Sir Christopher Airy died on April 7, 2025. He became Charles' private secretary n 1990, and his then-wife, Princess Diana.

He also added that his father should be open to reconciliation and help solve his security problem. 'There is a lot of control and ability in my father's hands,' he said. 'Ultimately, this whole thing could be resolved through him. Not necessarily by intervening, but by stepping aside, allowing the experts do what is necessary.'

Lindsey Granger: Huge disconnect between Trump and Musk on budget
(NewsNation) — Elon Musk is stepping down from his role in the White House after leading the Department of Government Efficiency, more commonly known as DOGE, to slash government spending. Musk was restricted to serving 130 days in a 365-day period because of his special employment status. The deadline is set to be met Friday, May 30. According to The Hill, during his tenure with DOGE, Musk found only $175 billion in savings with the unofficial agency despite a goal of $1 trillion. FBI will release video of Jeffrey Epstein's death: Bongino In an interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning,' Musk commented on the Trump-backed 'big, beautiful bill,' alleging the spending in the bill would only add to the deficit and undo any of the work the DOGE team did. Musk and President Donald Trump spoke from the Oval Office on Friday following his comments and the news of his departure. NewsNation contributor Lindsey Granger told Connell McShane on Friday's 'NewsNation Now' that Musk was likely vocal about the added spending to the deficit because he does not want his legacy in the government to be in vain. 'But financially and with fiscal responsibility, we know that may be a huge disconnect,' Granger said. 'While they were sitting together and playing nicely and are obviously still going to be friends, I think maybe Elon Musk learned his lesson to be involved on a really high level as opposed to a micro level.'

Small-business owners sue Trump administration over tariffs
(NewsNation) — A federal appeals court has reversed one of two rulings that block President Donald Trump's tariffs. A group of small-business owners sued the Trump administration over the tariffs, arguing that the president had overstepped his authority. The block was imposed by a New York-based court that handles trade cases before the block was lifted. Victor Schwartz, the owner of wine importer VOS Selections and one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, appeared on 'NewsNation Now' on Thursday to discuss the lawsuit and its impact on his business. Schwartz said the uncertainty surrounding tariffs has made managing his business 'very challenging.' Harvard-Trump court battle — and polarizing debate — continue Jeffrey Schwab, the attorney in the lawsuit, said the law Trump relied on to issue tariffs, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), does not allow the president to impose his 'Liberation Day' tariffs. He added that the stay on the tariffs is only temporary while the appeal is reviewed. 'I knew even though I was so elated over the win, I knew it was not over,' Schwartz said. Many of Trump's other tariffs remain blocked under a separate ruling made by a federal judge in Washington, D.C. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
