German Chancellor Friedrich Merz presents U.S. President Donald Trump with a personalized German national football team jersey during the G7 summit in France. Multiple outlets report the jersey is printed with Trump’s name on the back and the number “47,” which Merz and commentators link to Trump being the 47th U.S. president. The moment is shown in widely shared video from the summit as other world leaders are present, and Trump holds up the shirt briefly before placing it on a table beside him for photographs. Several reports describe the gift as a belated birthday present, citing Merz’s public message on social media that the two countries are “on the same team.” The exchanges are taking place as G7 leaders gather to discuss major international issues, including Russia’s war in Ukraine. The coverage emphasizes the event’s symbolism and the public nature of the gesture, rather than any specific policy announcement. The jersey episode is reported as part of ongoing efforts to maintain diplomatic warmth between Germany and the United States.
