Germany's Merz to visit Washington in March, Die Welt reports

BERLIN -, Feb 6 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will ​make his third visit ‌to Washington in early March, amid ‌efforts to ease transatlantic tensions between European nations and U.S. President Donald Trump, German ⁠daily Die ‌Welt reported on Friday.

There was no immediate comment ‍from Merz's office.

The news comes around a week before the start ​of the Munich Security Conference, ‌the high-level annual meeting of security policy specialists that saw blistering criticism of the United States' European NATO partners ⁠by U.S. Vice ​President JD ​Vance.

Vance is not expected to come to the conference ‍this year ⁠but Secretary of State Marco Rubio and a ⁠Congressional delegation are scheduled to attend.
