Merkel is sending her top security adviser to meet Trump's team in New York, according to a media report.

The German government is reportedly worried about unclear foreign policy stances.

Christoph Heusgen, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's foreign policy and security adviser, will travel to the United States to talk with members of the appointed cabinet of US president-elect, Donald Trump, according to a report in Saturday's "Spiegel" news magazine. Heusgen, a staunch critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is to meet with US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, among others, Spiegel reported.

According to Deutsche Welle, a government official confirmed to German news agency DPA that Heusgen will travel to the US for talks at the beginning of the week but did not provide further details.

Numerous questions remain about what Trump and his foreign policy team will do once the president-elect assumes office on January 20. This uncertainty has the German government deeply concerned.
