"Germany hits back at Trump criticism of refugee policy and BMW tariff threat
Deputy chancellor blames America’s ‘flawed interventionist policy’ for refugee crisis and warns of ‘bad awakening’ for US carmakers"
"“There is a link between America’s flawed interventionist policy, especially the Iraq war, and the refugee crisis, that’s why my advice would be that we shouldn’t tell each other what we have done right or wrong, but that we look into establishing peace in that region and do everything to make sure people can find a home there again,” Gabriel said.
“In that area Germany and Europe are already making enormous achievements – and that’s why I also thought it wasn’t right to talk about defence spending, where Mr Trump says we are spending too little to finance Nato. We are making gigantic financial contributions to refugee shelters in the region, and these are also the results of US interventionist policy.”
In brief remarks on Monday, Merkel said of Trump’s comments on Nato and the European Union: “We Europeans have our fate in our own hands.” Speaking during a press conference with New Zealand’s prime minister, Bill English, she said: “He has presented his positions once more. They have been known for a while. My positions are also known.”"
Trump äger alla viktiga frågor: EU, NATO, Ryssland och MÖ.
EU är handfallna och förvirrade.
Och han har inte ens tillträtt.
Grabbed them by the balls.
