German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a TV interview that though he is “irritated” about a lot of things happening under US President Donald Trump, he still has hope for the transatlantic relationship.
Steinmeier said in the interview with ZDF on Sunday that there has “never been so much uncertainty in the history of the German-American relationship and in the transatlantic relationship as there is at the present moment.”
Still, the German President expressed hope that other elements within American politics would continue to keep the relationship intact. […]
In Germany, the President is generally expected to show restraint in discussing political opinions. But Steinmeier — who became President in March — has been outspoken about his views on Trump in the past, saying that he would make foreign relations “more difficult” and blaming the American leader for division in the United States. …

“never been so much uncertainty in the history of the German-American relationship and in the transatlantic relationship as there is at the present moment.” Just a bit of hyperbole there. I’ll give him the point that there was no uncertainty once we went to war but there were a few uncertain years leading up to both wars.

" the history of the German-American relationship"
It is hilarious to see just how demented European politicians can be. I suppose that 1941-45 felt more like "certainty" when the USA was out to kick Germany's behind.... not to mention 1917-18....

“never been so much uncertainty in the history of the German-American relationship and in the transatlantic relationship as there is at the present moment.” Really? It's worse than 1933 to 1945?

The last time there was certainty in the relationship we turned Berlin into an assheap.
Just saying.
