(Worthy News) – Germany’s Angela Merkel on Sunday chided US President Donald Trump’s decision to retract his endorsement of the G7 communique via Twitter.
In her first interview since the contentious two-day G7 summit in Canada, Merkel told German broadcaster ARD that Trump’s “withdrawal via Twitter is of course sobering and a little depressing.” The chancellor also announced that the European Union would forge ahead with counter-measures to Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs.
“We won’t let ourselves be ripped off again and again,” Merkel said, taking on an unusually combative tone. “Instead, we act then too.” [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
