Germany Rebukes Trump's False Claims on Energy and Pet-Eating

German officials counter Trump's debate remarks, asserting their energy policy success and refuting bizarre pet-eating allegation.

During a debate with Kamala Harris, Donald Trump falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants in Ohio were eating pets and criticized Germany's energy policy.
Germany's foreign ministry responded on social media, affirming that over 50% of their energy comes from renewables and denying any plans to build new coal or nuclear plants.
The ministry also humorously refuted the pet-eating claim, stating, 'We also don’t eat cats and dogs.'
Germany's decision to phase out nuclear power after the 2011 Fukushima disaster led to increased coal use, but the country aims to eliminate coal by 2038.
Trump's remarks highlight ongoing tensions with Germany, a nation he frequently criticized during his presidency over defense spending and trade policies.
