OSAKA, Japan—President Donald Trump met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the margins of the G-20 summit in Osaka on June 27. Before the start of the bilateral meeting, Trump told Merkel he would rather be spending time with her at the summit than watching the Democratic debate on TV.

The leaders of the world’s biggest economies have gathered in Osaka for the 14th G-20 summit that will run through June 28-29.  On the first day of the summit, Trump held a bilateral meeting with Merkel on the sidelines to discuss trade and geopolitical issues.
