According to the article, the German government would only confirm the accuracy of the quotes attributed to its spokespersons:

> the German health ministry would only confirm the accuracy of the quotes attributed to one of its spokespersons in the article

The health ministry did not confirm the anonymous claim that “Trump was doing everything to secure a vaccine against the coronavirus for the US, ‘but for the US only’.” Spokespersons, by definition, do not speak anonymously.

I hope this clears things up for you.
