Merkel set for White House talks
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was due in the White House on Friday for talks with US President Donald Trump, facing an uphill struggle to save the Iran nuclear deal, avoid a trade war and make her relationship with the US leader functional again. Merkel's visit has already been overshadowed by a backslapping three-day festival of "fraternite" between Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron this week. Just hours before the chancellor landed on Thursday, some 15 months after Trump was sworn into office, the Congress finally got around to confirming an ambassador to Berlin.
