Angela Merkel Says Germany Can No Longer Rely on America Under Donald Trump
Following this week’s NATO and G7 summits, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday that Europe “must take its fate into its own hands” as it sees the Western alliance divided by Brexit as well as Trump’s reluctance to uphold the 2015 Paris climate accords, local media reported.
Addressing a crowd at an election rally in Munich, Merkel said that in the last few days, she had “experienced” that Germany and other European countries no longer can “completely rely on others.”
On Thursday, Merkel attended the one-day NATO summit in Brussels, spending Friday and Saturday in Italy’s Sicilian town of Taormina where the two-day G7 summit took place.
“We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands,” she stressed, adding that Germany and other European countries would do their best to stay on good terms with the US and the post-Brexit UK. “We have to fight for our own destiny.”
