German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump was shocked by a quarrel between U.S. leaders and Elon Musk. But this is still seen as a victory for Meles.

"It's not necessarily always a bad thing," Carsten Brzeski, head of global macros, told CNBC on Friday. "In fact, it might even help Meles, as Musk's distractions stray from more controversial topics, too.

It was a high-stakes trip for Merz, who just started his principal for weeks, especially given that other leaders have received Trump’s treatment from the Oval Office in recent months.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Meles will be disappointed with the results, especially given the potential shortcomings.

"Avoiding the Oval Office upgrade has been achieved now," Brzeski added.

Merz arrived at the District of Columbia with a full agenda, from strengthening relations between the United States and Germany to tariffs, which could have a significant impact on Germany's major industries - as well as U.S. support for Ukraine in the war with Russia and NATO's higher defense spending.

While we don't know what's going on behind closed doors, Meles seems to be able to address most of the points with Trump, political strategist Julius Van de Laar told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" Friday.

"I think what Friedrich Merz encountered was that he hoped the U.S. president would continue to support Ukraine," he said. Meers was able to accept that and contacted the D-D anniversary the day after the meeting.

"He said the United States released Europe from the Nazi regime at that time, so he hoped Donald Trump would … say we would get engaged again and help Europe get rid of dictatorship."

Jackson Janes, a senior resident of the Marshall Foundation in Germany, said it was important for Meles to raise this point against the backdrop of emphasis on the US-German relationship. He also interviewed CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" where he also noted that Trump was given a grandfather's birth certificate by Merz, "stating 'You have a relationship with your family and Germany.'"

Jennis also noted that Meles stressed that Germany's high-level defense spending plan would mark a positive note in the discussion.

Germany recently changed its fiscal rules to allow for higher defense spending, and Melz's government appears to be making it a priority. The prime minister has pledged to boost the economic efforts of the German military, and the country's foreign minister has suggested supporting Trump's proposal that NATO members use 5% of their GDP for national defense.

At the same time, it seems to avoid the sensitive topic of the German far-right party, namely the alternative Deutschland. The Trump administration has supported the party in recent weeks after German intelligence services classified it as a "verified right-wing extremist group."

This led to the shock of German politicians, whom Meles himself warned the United States not to participate. Amid legal challenges, the AFD classification is currently on hold.

All in all, Merz's visit to DC was considered "a home run or a hole."

Ing's Brzeski also suggested that the trip laid a good foundation among leaders. "There seems to be some common reason between Trump and Melz, which may be the seeds of building a more constructive relationship," he said.

Meles even seemed to get some praise from Trump, the president praised his English skills and said "hard", but the German leader is a "very good guy".

After the meeting, Merz seemed satisfied and said in a social media post that the atmosphere was “really good” and that the two had a lot in common. "I'll feel like I'm back and we can speak on the phone anytime," CNBC translator said.

But even face-to-face gatherings may not be far away: Melz told German media that Trump's trip to Berlin had been planned.
