Donald Trump and Angela Merkel couldn't be more different in political experience, world views and temperament.
On Tuesday, when the new U.S. president hosts the long-serving German leader at the White House, they'll find out if they can find any common ground.
In personality, Merkel's calm, detailed-oriented leadership for 11 years is in sharp contrast to political neophyte Trump's spontaneity and provocative comments. On policy, they diverge over immigration, defense spending, the European Union and global trade.
