During the G7 summit in Evian, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a personalized football jersey bearing the inscription "Trump 47." The gift was intended as a birthday present for the former president, who turned 80. Merz accompanied the gesture with a social media post stating, “Finally, we’re playing on the same team.” The unusual present has drawn attention for its symbolic nature and the context of ongoing international relations. It remains unclear what prompted the specific jersey number selection. The exchange occurred amidst discussions on global economic and security issues at the summit. This gesture represents a notable, albeit unconventional, moment of diplomacy.
