German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Sunday that Europe has to forge its own path forward, as the United States and Britain were no longer reliable partners. Reports Deutsche Welle.
“The times when we could fully rely on others have passed us by a little bit, that’s what I’ve experienced in recent days,” she said while speaking at a campaign rally in Munich.
Her reference was to the contentious G7 Summit meeting in Sicily, which ended Saturday with the world’s democratic powers divided. Most notably they were split “six against one,” as Merkel described it Saturday, on the man-made threat posed by global warming.
