After G7 Summit, Merkel says Europe can no longer completely rely\u00a0on U.S. and U.K.<\/strong><\/p>\n

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, distanced herself from U.S. President Donald Trump after unsatisfactory G-7 talks, saying that Europe can no longer rely on the U.S. and urging the region to \u201ctake our fate into our own hands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offered a grim appraisal of U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s first meeting with leaders of the G-7 group, she urged Europe to prepare for a future in which it has to be much more self-reliant.<\/p>\n

“The times in which we could completely depend on others are on the way out. I’ve experienced that in the last few days,” Mrs Merkel told a crowd at an election rally in Munich, southern Germany.<\/p>\n

“The times in which we could completely rely on others are over to a certain extent. That is what I experienced in the last few days,” Merkel said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands,\u201d she added, receiving a minute-long ovation after her remarks.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a><\/span>\u00a0called it a\u00a0“potentially seismic shift” whereas\u00a0the Washington Post<\/a><\/span>\u00a0termed it a “new chapter in U.S.-European relations.”<\/p>\n

Merkel\u2019s comments came a day after a meeting of the leaders of seven wealthy democracies in Sicily failed to end in a deal to uphold the Paris climate accord, while there was also a split on trade and the question of refugees.<\/p>\n

While six of the seven renewed their commitment to the 2015 Paris accord on climate change, Trump said he needed more time to decide.<\/p>\n

Merkel said the result of the G7 talks, which she described as \u201csix against one\u201d, was \u201cvery difficult, if not to say very unsatisfactory.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
