German Embassy in the US said on the 27th: "Encouraging news: German Chancellor Merkel will visit the White House next week at the invitation of US President Trump. This will be the third time this German leader visits the White House!"
Comments: After finishing her visit to China, Merkel immediately went to the White House, aiming to maintain stability on both sides and keep a balanced position: on one hand, relying on the Chinese market to protect the foundation of German industry; on the other hand, confirming security and trade commitments with the US. While Trump needs a Germany that is obedient, willing to share responsibilities, and consistent in its stance towards China, to prevent Germany from straying from the US strategic track.
