BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Thursday criticized U.S. Republican front-runner Donald Trump for a speech in which he said it would be "America first" if he were elected president.
Trump said on Wednesday that if elected, his foreign policy would leave European and Asian allies of the U.S. fending for themselves if they did not pay more for U.S. defense measures.
"I can only hope that the election campaign in the USA does not lack the perception of reality," Steinmeier said.
"The world's security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone. It cannot be conducted unilaterally," he said, referring to Trump's "America first" message.
Steinmeier said international conflicts could only be solved nowadays if heavyweights like the United States and Russia and others joined forces.

Two, Trump did indeed say that the United States and Russia both face terrorism and would accomplish more working together to defeat it. So Steinmeier is being deceitful about what Trump said of he is confusing with Hittlery.
That is a wonderful endorsement for Trump!!!!
Thanks, Germany....
GO TRUMP!!!!!!
LOL. That's what Trump is doing. He wants all the pillars to pay for the defense of the West, not just the US pillar unilaterally.
Well, one thing about it: nobody is accusing the current German government of believing “Germany first.”
Imagine the shock of an American President who puts America first.
Restores hope at last. No more apology tours.
Germans put muslims first now ...
Typical Euroweenie.......................
Germany has gone suicidal like us under the Muslim in Chief. Fortunately, we’re about to correct course.
“The world’s security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone. It cannot be conducted unilaterally,”
Good you C-Sucker, We will stand by and watch your friggan country go down the hole again. Let your ladies get molested at will on the streets where even your POLICE wont lift a finger.
And this from a country where they havent had a huge attack-YET.
I noticed the German foreign minister purposely avoided the real issue Trump was addressing that Germany does not pay its fair share of NATO costs and they only spend 1% of their GDP on defense when they agreed to spend 2%. Of course, these deadbeats do not want Trump taking them off the gravy wagon.
How do you say eunuch in German?
Germany is suffering from a self inflicted mortal wound and begging the US to follow suit.
You could not make this crap up!!!
This German is a living joke. Boo hoo, you gave YOUR country away to Muzzlimes.
Has anyone heard from Farage yet? I wonder what he thinks of this since he is largley a nationalist. Or Frances LePen?
There is also nothing in that statement, which prevents a nation from working with friendly nations against a common threat or common enemy. The German Minister is playing word games; probably to cover up his Prime Minister's patent betrayal of her own people in the present "refugee crisis."
Thank you but we don’t need the 1 million refugee rape capital of Europe to tell us one damned thing. Now pay up on Nato NOW!!!
Like we need advice from the people who started the two worst wars in recent human history.
That is the real issue, as I commented earlier, they want to spend all their money on the Islamatization of Europe.
Shut up and go invade Poland. (not you)
i know, that was an underhanded shot.
Sick of W euroweenies acting so outraged and superior as their countries burn.
they want ours to also
