Angela Merkel issues not-so-subtle warning to trump, puts Theresa May's blanket statement to shame

Recommended Posts

Angela Merkel has issued a carefully-worded response to Donald Trump’s election as US President, taking aim at the divisive rhetoric he used during the campaign.

While Theresa May simply congratulated Trump on his victory, Merkel said she would only offer “close cooperation” dependent on his commitment to equal rights. 

The German Chancellor, who has been the driving force behind the EU’s acceptance of hundreds of thousands of refugees, said her relationship with Trump would only succeed if he upheld “the dignity of man, independent of origin”.

She said: “Germany and America are connected by values of democracy, freedom, and respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views.

“I offer the next President of the United States close cooperation on the basis of these values.

“The partnership with the United States is and remains a foundation of German foreign policy.” 

She added that she had - like many others - “watched the election results with trepidation”.

The remarks are likely issued as a pointed warning to Trump, who has called for all 1.6 billion members of a religion to be banned from the US to prevent terror attacks. 

Her response was far more hostile than that of Theresa May, who congratulated Trump and said she was sure Britain and the US would remain “close partners”.

The PM said: “Britain and the United States have an enduring and special relationship based on the values of freedom, democracy and enterprise.

“We are, and will remain, strong and close partners on trade, security and defence. I look forward to working with President-elect Donald Trump, building on these ties to ensure the security and prosperity of our nations in the years ahead.”

Merkel's full schpeal:

Americans have decided that the person to carry this responsibility for the next four years is Donald Trump.

Germany and America are connected by common values: democracy, freedom, respect for the law and for human dignity irrespective of origin, skin colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political conviction. 

On the basis of these values, I offer the future president of America, Donald Trump, a close working relationship.

Partnership with the USA remains a basic pillar of German foreign policy in order for us to meet the great challenges of our time: striving for economic and social wellbeing and a forward-looking climate policy, the fight against terrorism, hunger and disease, engagement for peace and freedom, in Germany, Europe and all over the world.”

Now let's not get carried away, Germany is miles away.mp3 from America eve1 They don't just say, they do. The mass migration got messy recently, but Germany learnt from its mistakes 100% and is a country to admire. Merkel is a pretty polarizing politician, aren't they all, but she shouldn't mix up with the vile carcass like Trump, and she probably won't eve1
