German Chancellor Friedrich Merz gives U.S. President Donald Trump a personalized soccer jersey during the G7 summit in France. Multiple outlets report that the chancellor’s gift is a Germany football jersey featuring the number “47” on the back and the word “TRUMP.” One outlet describes the gesture as a belated birthday present, while another frames it as a surprise during the summit. The reports agree on the core details of the jersey, including its branding and numbering, and that Merz hands it directly to Trump at the G7 event. Both accounts present the incident as a light moment amid summit proceedings, with no additional claims about broader diplomatic implications. The episode is reported as a single, specific exchange between the two leaders during the summit, with coverage focused on the jersey’s personalized design.
