Germany’s top politicians have stepped up criticism of US President Donald Trump, a day after Chancellor Angela Merkel said the US and UK were no longer reliable partners. On Monday Merkel said it was right not to gloss over differences with the US, while her foreign minister said Trump’s actions ‘weakened the West’. It comes days after the G7 summit, where Trump refused to commit to the 2015 Paris climate deal. BBC reported that German opposition leader Martin Schulz accused Trump of having tried to ‘humiliate’ Merkel in Brussels. Speaking at a conference on sustainable development in Berlin, Merkel reiterated her call for Europeans to take their fate into their own hands.
