The East African nation was already one of the world's poorest countries, but residents there have been put under further pressure by a recent spike in the price of goods such as food.

"The question then becomes: What's next?"Among the potential pitfalls the German delegation faces are the deep disdain that some members of Trump's cabinet - particularly Vice President JD Vance - have for the so-called "firewall" that keeps Germany's Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party out of power.

"If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing American can do for you," Vance told the Munich Security Conference in February.Vance also broke diplomatic norms by meeting the AfD's leader, Alice Weidel, ahead of Germany's snap election that saw the party storm into second place.Since then, AfD has been classified as extremist by Germany's domestic intelligence service - although the public designation was paused pending a legal challenge.

If confronted, Merz is unlikely to concede, having previously called on the US government to "stay out" of Berlin's domestic politics.While she believes a "Zelensky-style" Oval Office is unlikely, Stelzenmüller said a "worst case scenario" would be something more akin to the visit of Irish Prime Minister Micheál to the White House - an occasion promptly followed by a visit from his political foe, former UFC fighter Conor McGregor.

Subsequent contact with the AfD or Alice Weidel, she added, would be seen as a provocation by Germany.

"That would be DEFCON 1 for the bilateral," she said.Iran has not yet responded to the plan presented at talks last Saturday.

According to Trump, Putin "suggested that he will participate in discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion"."It is my opinion that Iran has been slow walking their decision on this very important matter," Trump wrote. "We will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time."

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei has criticised the US proposal and said it will not stop enriching uranium.Authorities in the German city of Cologne have defused three unexploded World War Two bombs after the evacuation of more than 20,000 people.
