Trump and Merkel had a long history of disagreement that was previously focused on the two leaders' view on immigration. During his campaign and also after winning the presidency, Trump repeatedly blasted Merkel for making a "catastrophic mistake" with her open door policy on refugees, while Merkel did not shy away from criticizing Trump in the wake of his travel ban order that sought to ban travellers from six Muslim countries. After Trump announced his decision to pull the United States out of the landmark Paris Agreement last month, Merkel became one of the most vocal critics of Trump's abandonment of the climate treaty.
