U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday it was "inappropriate" for Donald Trump to brand German Chancellor Angela Merkel's refugee policy "a catastrophic mistake".
"I thought frankly it was inappropriate for a president-elect of the United States to be stepping into the politics of other countries in a quite direct manner," Kerry told CNN's Christiane Amanpour during a one-day visit to London in the last week of the Obama administration.
"He will have to speak to that. As of Friday, he is responsible for that relationship."
Trump, who will be sworn in as president on Friday, had said in a joint interview with Bild newspaper and the Times of London that he respected Merkel, but criticized her stance on refugees, which allowed a wave of more than 1 million refugees into Germany.
Merkel faces a tough re-election battle in September.
"I think we have to be very careful about suggesting that one's strongest leaders in Europe, and most important players with respect to where we are heading, made one mistake or another. I don't think it's appropriate for us to be commenting on that," Kerry said.
He rejected Trump's description of Merkel's refugee policy as "catastrophic".
"I think she was extremely courageous. I don't think it amounts to that characterization," Kerry said. . .

Ha ha. Like Trump will listen to you.
But, completely appropriate for Kerry to inject himself into Israeli politics or Syria and continue fomenting chaos in the Middle East?
Dorche bag...
FreedomGuru says it’s inappropriate for John F’ing Kerry to be involved in American politics of any kind.
Kerry & Obama please just go away.
Yes I understand there are other opinions.
I have never served myself. So I hold anyone who has, in respect.
Your opinions may vary, of course. :D

They are going to criticize everything he does, so he might as well just do what he thinks he should.
They have basically disqualified themselves by criticizing EVERYTHING. If they had kept their little yaps shut a bit, he might take them seriously when they say something.
how appropriate was it for john Kerry Clinton and Obama to step into Israeli politics.
one word hypocrisy
More lickspittle from Kerry.
Am I the only one who is annoyed by his tongue flickering every time he talks?
NO. You’re not alone on that. The man’s face use to look like a Shar Pei. Wonder how many liters of Botox it took to fill it in? All that botulism has affected his brain.
You mean like Obama and brexit?
It was inappropriate for an American traitor to be Sec of State!
Obama bowed before a family who jailed people for political dissent, ordered numerous homosexuals executed, and more, and he wants to talk about Trump being worse. Give me a break!
American’s have a great history of speaking for people who are not free to speak for themselves.
That's gonna leave a mark.
FOJK
Shrillary’s & Kerry’s footprints & fingerprints are all over the world-—and neither has one single thing to say about Trump.
Even the new President of the Philipines won’t talk to Obama.
It’s inappropriate for a nothingburger like Kerry to offer opinions on anything. In a contest for dumbest and least qualified SoS, he and Clintoon would be in a head to head contest far ahead of the rest of the pack.
Shut up, Horse Face! You’re such an idiot, I would take anything you say and do the opposite.
It’s a toss-up who was a worse SOS—The Haughty John Kerry or Cankles.
