Angela Merkel says Germany can no longer rely on the USA under Donald Trump

[Coop 15,393]

Speaking at a campaign event in Bavaria, Ms Merkel emphasised the need for friendly relations with the US, Britain and Russia, but added: "We Europeans must really take our destiny into our own hands." 

She said that, as the traditional western alliance is threatened by the new US presidency and Brexit, "the times in which we can fully count on others are somewhat over, as I have experienced in the past few days."

While Germany and Europe would strive to maintain relations with America and Britain, Ms Merkel said Europeans "have to fight for our own destiny".

Germany and everyone else can't rely on Trump.

Why is she talking as if Britain isn't part of Europe? I know they aren't EU but they're still a part of the continent.

Based on the engagement of the UK for the EU in the past, not much is going to happen, especially under May.

You answered your own question. They aren't affiliated post brexit.

I wish we had a different president.

Trump doesn't realize that cooperation actually improves our standing and influence, and is good for all the allies.

America's isolation is starting already I see

I think in the next 4 years we'll see if America can truly survive on its own, or if it'll end up looking to Russia in desperation, or simply implode

I fully agree with Chancellor Merkel.

They are still part of the European Union (EU), but because of their BREXIT it won't take long until they are no member of the EU anymore.

Thank God!

She is now the 'leader of the free world.'

And she is right. 

The USA doesn't have a competent or reliable leader right now. Come back to us in a few years.
