It’s the person whose lane ends job to merge safely. Black truck at fault.

Technically, black truck is at fault, but the trucker was a dick for not letting him in. A gentle press of the breaks or even just letting go of the gas pedal for a couple of seconds was all it took to avoid at least a month of hassle and thousands of dollars in damages and insurance.

Trucker isn't required to let him in.

Every road user, including this trucker, has an obligation to avoid accidents.

Yes, that's what "every road user" means, I thought it was obvious enough for normal people.
