Jens Spahn (CDU), Vizevorsitzender der Unionsfraktion im Bundestag, äußerte sich dazu während seines Aufenthalts als Beobachter beim Parteitag der Republikaner in Milwaukee. Obwohl auch er Probleme mit Trumps Rhetorik hat, betont Spahn, dass es viele Themen gibt, bei denen Gemeinsamkeiten bestehen.

Union faction vice Jens Spahn (CDU): Trump is often correct

The Union calls for looking for the connecting person in dealing with US presidential candidate Donald Trump instead of emphasizing the separator. Accordingly, the Vice President of the Union Group in the Bundestag, Jens Spahn (CDU), commented on Thursday in RBB24 Inforadio. Spahn is currently a observer at the Republican party congress in Milwaukee (US state of Wisconsin).

Jens Spahn emphasized that Donald Trump is often properly lying, although he himself is often irritated by his choice of words and unemployment. For example, the US presidential candidate is vehemently committed to reducing the German energy dependency of Russia. According to Spahn, Trump's criticism is entitled to this topic because Germany has many years of dependence on Russian energy. Another point that Spahn addresses is Trump's demand for higher defense spending in Germany. He emphasizes that the current budget planning of the government coalition does not adequately cover this requirement, which is perceived in the USA.

Furthermore, Spahn addresses the topic of China. He emphasizes that both sides have to respect their own interests, but that there is a common interest in containing China. To achieve this goal, it is important to find a strategy together.

Jens Spahn's statements show that despite the criticism of Donald Trump's rhetoric and procedure, there are also similarities with the Union. Spahn asks to search for the connector and find a common strategy in important topics such as the German energy dependency of Russia or how to deal with China.
