Merz faces summer press conference; Germany's foreign ministry bans gender symbols

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is attending his summer press conference today, aiming to project stability and frame recent compromises as democratic successes. CDU foreign policy MP Roderich Kiesewetter has criticised Donald Trump's inconsistent Iran policy and the threat of tariffs on the Strait of Hormuz, calling instead for a strategic freeze on Iranian financial flows and firm disarmament of Hezbollah. Meanwhile, Germany's Foreign Ministry under Johann Wadephul has banned gender symbols — including gender stars, underscores and colons — from official correspondence and its intranet.
