FRANKFURT, Germany — German Chancellor Angela Merkel found the contentious Group of Seven summit with U.S. President Donald Trump a "sobering" and "depressing" experience but said European leaders won't be "taken advantage of" on trade.
She conceded in an interview on German public television Sunday that the meeting's outcome "wasn't a great thing."
"I have spoken of a sobering experience, which for me is a lot," she added.
Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and the other leaders clashed with Trump over steel and aluminum tariffs as well as his decision to abandon a deal with Iran to limit its nuclear program.
The group managed a common statement in which they agreed to disagree on some issues, only to have Trump disavow the document in a tweet after leaving the meeting.
Merkel said that "taking it back by tweet was of course sobering and also a little depressing."

So, the US supplied gravy train has stopped.
Winning!
Says the leader who chooses immigrants over her own people!
So, Merkel is admitting she is an alcoholic?
“sobering” = red pill
A sobering experience? So, she admits to being a drunk...
Where’s the Dr. Trump’s Butt Hurt Salve ad?
It sounds like she is at least admitting that she was drunk, at the time.
>>but said European leaders won’t be “taken advantage of” on trade.
And for the first time since we saved Europe from Germany, neither will the USA.
“Won’t be taken advantage of on trade”
Huh... Trump asked for no tariffs at all across the board and she balked. That would almost seem that she admits the current trade agreements with the US favor Germany and the EU...
[[but said European leaders won’t be “taken advantage of” on trade.]]
Funny- that is exactly what Pres Trump is saying- no more beign taken advantage of- too bad if those takign advantage of us stomp their feet in defiance- We’re done beign taken advantage of- period!
“A sobering experience? So, she admits to being a drunk...”
NO, it;s a sobering experience for her to see that the US-provided gravy train that Europe has enjoyed since about 1945 is fast coming to an end. Sobering to realize that their budgets are going to have to be substantially revamped and a lot of socialist “goodies” will, of necessity, have to be cut off.
Merkel actually graduated from the University of Karl Marx.
Yep thats what she heard, and it cut deep
She can still have her Gravy Train ,it comes in 3 flavors
She’s used to dealing with Greece and Italy. She doesn’t know what just hit her.
