05:27⇢Trump's Expanding Shadow
⌨German media largely focuses on the impending Alaska summit between President Trump and Vladimir Putin, with outlets suggesting it could shape Europe's future beyond a Ukraine ceasefire (Berliner Zeitung, merkur.de, Welt). Beyond the summit, Trump's broader actions are highlighted, including a temporary pause on higher tariffs with China (FAZ, FR) and his use of the military for domestic purposes in the US, seen by some as autocratic (Spiegel). Europe's perceived diminishing influence in global affairs remains a related concern (Sueddeutsche, Welt).
