Trump is bad at reaching meaningful agreements with autocrats.
He failed in his first term with Kim Jong Un.
He played chicken with Xi & backed down.
He got nothing from Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
Negotiations with Iran aren't going well either.
He's better at coercing democratic allies.

Trump has discovered the "infinite peace glitch" and has now ended the war in Iran for the 39th time. If all these peaces are added to the eight wars he already claims to have ended, he should have no trouble winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

He is wishing a “more prosperous future for Russian people” at the very moment when they are slaughtering thousands of Ukrainians under occupation, across the front line, and behind it with missiles and drones.
What a disgrace!

One thing that should be very clear now, is that every one of Trump's claims in the last two months that an agreement with Iran was close, imminent, just around the corner, and that Iran had been militarily defeated and desperate for a deal....was made up.
All were lies, every one.

In all honesty, the US would be doing Germany a favor.
The Tomahawk Block Vb, the variant under discussion, will not enter service with the U.S. fleet before 2028, more likely 2029.
Germany, as an export partner, would likely have to wait longer still.
